Inkscape 1.0.1 in Fedora 32 ignores keyboard preferences and KP key assignments

Summary:

... 1.0.1 ignores local and shared keyboard preferences when default.xml is present, and ignores KP_ assignments

Steps to reproduce:

1. Installed Inkscape 1.0.1 (3bc2e813f5, 2020-09-07) on Fedora 32 (5.10.8-100.fc32.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jan 17 19:52:43 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux), using "sudo dnf reinstall inkscape"¹
2. Typed inkscape on the command line and opened inkscape
3. Selected Edit: Preferences: System.
4. Found my local config filenames greyed out and inaccessible (see attached screenshot).
5. Went to Interface > Keyboard Shortcuts and selected my own shortcuts file
6. Closed and reopened inkscape, pressed Numlock, then tried to use my assigned KP_ shortcut keys: No result.
7. Switched to the standard corel-draw-x4 shortcuts file, closed inkscape, and reopened. Continued to get the inkscape default.xml shortcuts -- e.g., F12 toggled the dialogues pane.
8. Copied my shortcuts file to /usr/share/inkscape/keys and renamed default.xml files to make them unavailable.
9. Finally, got one of my keys to work -- F12, added for test purposes. However, my KP_ assignments for alignment operations had no effect.

The forum administrator at https://inkscape.org/forums/ reproduced the problem and advised me to post this report. See https://inkscape.org/forums/questions/preferences-system-user-config-files-greyed-out-ignored/#c24279 for my comprehensive account, with logs and screenshot.

What happened?

Inkscape ignored my own keyboard assignments and when I specified standard alternative shortcut files, they were ignored as well.

What should have happened?

My KP_ assignments work on inkscape 0.91 on SUSE 14.2, but not on inkscape 1.01 on Fedora 32.

With Numlock on, I select two objects and press a keypad key. In inkscape 0.91, the objects move into alignment. In inkscape 1.01, there is no response.

1. This was the third inkscape 1.01 install on the Fedora 32 system:

   1. Installed using the Gnome Software panel. Gnome gave me a sandbox version running through bwrap, with no configuration files
   2. Used Gnome to remove, then entered inkscape at a terminal command line and allowed bash to do the install
   3. When the problem described in this report appeared, I installed again, using the dnf reinstall command
