Tail of .xsession-errors has:
  Minor opcode:  0
    Resource id:  0x4e00001
    QLayout "unnamed" added to QVBox "unnamed", which already has a layout
    QLayout: Adding KToolBar/mainToolBar (child of QVBox/unnamed) to layout
for PlaylistWindow/PlaylistWindow
    QObject::connect: Incompatible sender/receiver arguments
            StarManager::ratingsColorsChanged() -->
ContextBrowser::ratingOrScoreOrLabelsChanged(const QString&)
            Amarok: [Loader] Starting amarokapp..
            Amarok: [Loader] Don't run gdb, valgrind, etc. against this
binary! Use amarokapp.

YaST2 Software Management doesn't show me "amarokapp".

I tried also installing the Packman Amarok metapackage. That adds Xine Engine
as an option, but fails with "xine was unable to initialize any audio
drivers". :-(
