           Summary: digikam unable to create io-slave
           Product: digikam
           Version: 0.7.1
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: afe0108 yahoo com


Version:           0.7.1 (using KDE KDE 3.4.3)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.4 (Gentoo 3.4.4-r1, ssp-3.4.4-1.0, pie-8.7.8) 
OS:                Linux

When I run digikam the main window opens but no thumbnails are displayed.  In the shell there is the error:

digikam: ERROR: : couldn't create slave : Unable to create io-slave:
klauncher said: Unknown protocol 'digikamtags'.

This is with 0.7.1 but I got the same error previously (I think) with 0.8.0- I downgraded to see if the problem went away.

I think this happened after a recent "emerge world" on Gentoo, and it happened on 2 different identical machines so I doubt it's a random thing.  I'm experiencing another problem with may or may not be related- I've lost all png icons in the kmenu and kicker.

I've tried reinstalling digikam and several other applications and libraries- libpng, mime-types, kdebase-data, kdebase-kioslaves, kdemultimedia-kioslaves as well as the entire kdelibs.  Doesn't help.
