For portability's sake, I write all my apps to bind their own global hotkeys using XGrabKey(). (Which means all my PyGTK apps also depend on python-xlib or XPyB and, on Windows, fall back to not supporting global hotkeys)
It would be nice to see a unified keybinding daemon to complement the unified notification daemon but, until there's a freedesktop.org-standard D-Bus API that lets a single hotkey daemon be shared between KDE, GNOME, Xfce, and LXDE apps, I just don't see this idea being anything more than yet another DE-specific process wasting resources. ...especially given that Openbox can already do global hotkey binding for functions that don't map directly to a KDE, GNOME, or XGrabKey-using application.
