This is often due to a screwed up configuration, perhaps due to having
kde3 and kde4 versions overwriting each other at some point. I don't
have time ATM to find the specific files, but for the user, they're
usually under ~/.kde/share/apps/* (if it has a whole config dir) or
~/.kde/share/config/* (if it's a single rc file).
Of course, ~/.kde can be a versioned form ~/.kde4 or whatever, as well.
It could be the system config normally under /usr/share/<same subdirs>,
also, but that's less commonly screwed up unless the distribution screwed
it, or unless the sysadmin went editing the system config.
I'd suggest simply deleting (or renaming) the config, particularly the
user config, with the application shut down of course, then restart it
and it should write a new config.

Hi Duncan<br>
<br>
Thanks for the suggestion - short version: renamed the existing config
file (.kde/share/config/kscdrc) and started up KsCD ... same old thing:
no configuration buttons, cannot play the audio CD in my sata drive
(still recognises the track listing and can eject the disc, but can't
play it mind you!!).<br>
<br>
So, unless I misunderstood your suggestion that didn't appear to work.
I don't know if any other Debian Squeeze users are experiencing
anything similar. I don't use KDE as my DE (I am using GNOME), but
surely that shouldn't make any difference because AFAICT, apt-get did
pull in all dependencies, etc.<br>
<br>
Anyhow, thanks for the idea, but I think it's back to the drawing board.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
