digiKam use some KIO-slave to run properlly. If you have this message :

"Could not start process Unable to create io-slave: klauncher
said: Unknown protocol 'digikamalbums'."

... this is want mean than kio-slave are not installed properlly in your 
computer. 

- Installation : tarball, package, svn ?
- Try to grep "digikamalbums" in your computer. Where is located ?
- Are you read the README file before to compile and install ?
