Binding external programs on keybord shortcuts in KDE
It's not entirely clear, how to bind in KDE an external program without KDE support on a keyboard shortcut, the "System Settings -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts" has no such option.
You have to start "kcontrol", go to "Regional & Accessibility" and choose "Input Actions". There you can create a new entry with "New Action". For the "Action type" field you have to select "Keyboard shortcut -> Command/URL (simple)". The second tab now let's you select the keyboard sequence, in the third tab you can enter the commandline program with options. Don't forget to apply the changes!
Voila.
