a key makes trouble :-)

[Jan Eidtmann]

Hi Oliver!

ok, you built a fine key grabber into xfce already but limit it to 10 
shortcuts!
are you gonna tell me to buy the product to get unlimited shortcuts ?
;-)
the thing is, i dont like extra apps for things that should be done by 
the window manager IMO! PWM, wmaker, KDE, they all dont need extra apps 
(blackbox does not count, eeew...)
