Imputerate,

I think you misunderstand what emacs means by 'global'.

global-set-key sets a global key binding within emacs (i.e. not editing-mode 
specific).
It won't affect any other programs you are running, including
Mozilla's firefox, or KDE konqueror (I assume that is what you mean by 
'conkeror').

In KDE,
you can change the shortcuts for all KDE apps by using
"KDE Button" / "Control Center"
selecting "Regional & Accessibility" / "Keyboard Shortcuts".

However, this will only affect KDE apps; it won't affect
galeon (Gnome's browser), open office, emacs, firefox etc.



HTH,
