I am running latest Kubuntu KDE, was trying to set up virtual desktop switching key bindings same as I used in Gnome: Ctrl+Alt+Number_Of_Desktop.

I always used numpad to press the number, but this does not want to work in KDE.
When I press numbers above the qwerty keys they work! But numpad does not.
Can you suggest where I should dig?

A bug report: Bug 183458 - Numpad (keypad) keys not mapped correctly when setting Global Shortcuts / https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=183458

The bug report has a workaround "Comment #17 From Pistos"
