JFYI what Martin, kwin maintainer writes about it:

http://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/2015/06/global-shortcut-handling-in-a-plasma-wayland-session/

I think from this they should still work for X11.

As with other settings it may be the config file is at a new location. Can 
you check in ~/.local/share instead of ~./kde/share/config? Did it create a 
new file for the newly defined shortcuts there? Maybe it suffices to copy 
the old config files over.

Thanks,
