I've recommended a similar procedure (setting then unsetting) in another 
context.  I felt quite foolish but I know that sometimes works.

Anyway, I used Settings >Window Manager >Keyboard to assign *SHIFT+F4* 
to Move Window to Left Workspace.  The keybinding is showing as 
*SHIFT+F16* (there is no F16).  I set it twice with the same result.  
Somehow F4 has become F16. =-O

The keybinding *was* working in OpenOffice.org.  I'll try it on Kde 
tomorrow. :'(
