But, even assuming it's possible for some applet to get a list of keyboard shortcuts for all currently-running X clients from the X server, then that applet wouldn't be able to change the shortcuts because it's up to each individual X client to determine its own shortcuts. The "Shortcuts and Gestures" module in System Settings is supposed to be able to (permanently) change the shortcuts, and there's no way to do that in general for all X clients, so it only deals with shortcuts belonging to KDE apps.
(Another potential problem with trying to display and/or change shortcuts for all X clients is that the client that receives the key event may not be the same as the application that acts on it — for example, (if I understand correctly) KDE 4 has a daemon called "kglobalaccel" for receiving global shortcut keypress events, because KDE 4 also supports Mac OS X and "for OSX
you have to have an app running to catch events at the global level".)
