I've just installed yakuake in kubuntu 11.10, but cannot see it in the "Custom Shortcuts" settings.
How to change shortcut to win+~ in this case?

This is a lame default IMO.
For those of us who can't give up their Super+Foo keyboard shortcuts, here's how you can disable the unity dash key binding to the Super/Win key, and continue to use your Super+Foo keyboard shortcuts.

TIP: Bind Super+Space to the Unity Dash (replaces gnome-do)
For custom shortcuts, you can't bind your keyboard shortcut if you only selected the row. This is different from how it works for System shortcuts, where merely selecting the row is enough to input a new keyboard shortcut.
You have to click on the Disabled and wait for it to change to New accelerator.... After that you can press your desired keyboard shortcut and it will be reflected appropriately.

You can still configure the Global shortcut in the application itself.
Launch yakuake. In its menu (In my theme the little triangle between "pin" and "close" at the lower right corner) you will be able to select the entry "Configure Shortcut..."
Here you will be able to select your preferred Shortcut in the Global column (by default F12 key)
Same for other KDE applications, as far as I seen, you can select the global Shortcut from the application itself.
