What steps will reproduce the problem?

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It would be convenient to have possibility to set system-wide shortcut for launching
(or showing) SpeedCrunch. Just to have ability to quickly get calculator in front of
you to make some simple calculation.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Ubuntu 10.10, SpeedCrunch 0.10.1

Please provide any additional information below.

``` It is possible to define a global hot-key for that in your window manager (Gnome/KDE). ```

``` It's possible. But when I use compiz command for this, SpeedCrucnh is started unfocused. Which is not-so-good. And also SpeedCrunch is cross-platform, so it would be more convenient for users to have this setting in the application itself. ```

I don't see how the application could register itself to be launched via a desktop manager-wide
shortcut, at least in a cross-platform way. Also, the focus issue was a mix of a bug
in SpeedCrunch and Ubuntu. It has been fixed (but not yet released in a new version).
