This sounds like a migration issue: kxkb has been replaced by a new applet 
and the shortcut stays assigned to the old, no longer used one.

Keyboard shortcuts can be configured, what changed is just the default.

"Lost & found" is what takes everything that's not categorized somewhere 
else. "Akonadi configuration" used to be under "Advanced", which doesn't 
exist in 4.5 anymore. And upstream hasn't been showing it at all since KDE 
4.4, which is why it isn't categorized properly for 4.5, but our users have 
asked for it to be shown:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=565420
"Advanced" was a nice place for it, but unfortunately upstream removed that 
in 4.5.
