qt-gui compiled --with-kde, so it is called kde-gui... or do you mean a 
different kde-gui?

But here, finally a way to reproduce it, kinda makes sense, too...:
1. Uncheck "Auto send through server" in the options
2. Rename a (offline) contact to "sss"
3. Try to send a direct message to this contact (this is apparently not 
possible for all offline contacts, sometimes "Send through server" is checked 
and grayed out)

=> while licq tries to send directly (which won't work, of course), KDE/Qt has 
a short time where Alt+S is not assigned (because sending is disallowed at 
the moment), so it assigns it to the contact's tab.
After sending is allowed again, KDE/Qt tries to rearrange its shortcuts, but 
if it isn't possible to free Alt+S it will be double-assigned.

So it is rather a KDE/Qt problem, but a workaround would probably be to assign 
Alt+S to the "Cancel"-Button, while something is beeing sent.
