A couple of notes on the previous emails,

Fabrice, so long as your app ensures that no third-party code can 
programmatically grab a shortcut without user agreement, it would make sense to 
let it have a privilege.

Quite obviously a compo should have the last word and be able to refuse a 
request to grab a certain shortcut. If this happens, compo developers please do 
provide the requesting app a displayable/translatable explanation that your 
end-users would understand ;)

I don't quite like the idea of a permission prompt from the compo for setting 
up keyboard shortcuts. In the vast majority of cases the user is already using 
a specific GUI for that and possibly setting up more than one shortcut (e.g. 
shortcuts to newly installed media app), so it'd be awkward for them to receive 
a permission prompt. I think privileges work much better here (or User-Driven 
Access Control with a button that when clicked displays a compositor-owned 
dialog inviting the user to select a global shortcut).
