Bug#696958: closer inspection
After a bit more of testing it seems that the problem is a bit more complex
than expected...
In order to reproduce the error the following conditions must be met:
1) Run it under XFCE (I am using the official Debian wheezy version 4.8.3-2)
2) Configure more than one keyboard layout under XFCE (In item "Keyboard" in
the configuration tool).
3) The first defined keyboard layout is not the default one.
In my case I have four defined keyboard layouts in this order: Spanish,
French, English (EEUU) and German. The default now is English, but I have
checked that using the Spanish keys for + and - (which corresponds in US
keyboard to ] and / keys) I get the desired behaviour in akregator.
So in summary the problem seems to be that the keyboard shortcuts used by
akregator are mapped using the first listed keyboard layout by XFCE, rather
than the actually used.
I have also checked that the same behaviour happens to kmail, so it seems to
be a common problem of KDE applications under XFCE.
