I think the equivalant on my system is Settings/Configure Shortcuts...
I've searched that dialog until my eyes hurt. Nothing there. :(

Thanks.
I don't have that line in my kdeglobals. I recursively grep'd for
addbookmark (-i of course) in /etc/kde3 also, w/ no luck.
I added an AddBookmark entry in my kdeglobals, logged out and back into
kde again. My newly defined shortcut doesn't seem to work.
I've been trying Kubuntu on my laptop. This little gotcha is driving me
so nuts, by itself it may drive me to revert to good ol' vanilla debian,
which hasn't given me this problem on any system I'm running it on.
