I managed to fix the global shortcut issue through "Custom Shortcuts" in
the System Settings. I had to create a new global shortcut command, and
that seemed to work fine. I had thought that once a shortcut to an
application was added to a panel, setting "Shortcut" on that widget would
invoke the application, but that's not the case. The shortcut in the widget
configuration panel seems to be a generic setting, which I assume is
intended to e.g. open widget panels and other UI-type interactions, such as
a folder view.

However, global shortcuts are ignoring my keyboard layout. That's a
frustrating issue. I'll report that upstream if it's not already reported.
