I'm pretty sure than it's a problem of env. variables not set.

Here, under Mandriva 2008.1, KDE4 is installed to /opt/kde4

if i run digikam like this : /opt/kde4/bin/digikam, i have the same
problem than you...

I need to use the "k4" script to run an application outside KDE4
desktop (this is the case here. i don't run KDE4 but KDE3 desktop,
because this one is stable and need something _stable_ to work)....

So, from shell, i do "k4 digikam"... and all work fine. kioslave run
properlly...

Now, we will see what the k4 script set. Form a fresh konsole instance
under KDE3, i do the following lines :

[gilles at localhost ~]$ export > before.txt
[gilles at localhost ~]$ k4
[gilles at localhost ~]$ export > after.txt
[gilles at localhost ~]$ diff before.txt after.txt
