Hi Frerich,

well, I ran into the same Problem a while ago (posted here in December). 
In my case I think the reason was that I stupidly upgraded KDE while I 
was using it. Also tried to remove ~/.kde etc, which didn't help.

I have no Idea what might have caused the Problem; on my 
Desktop-machine, where I upgraded from Ports, everything works nice.

Would be great if you let me (on the ML) know, if you find a solution. 
After searching and trying a while I mustadmit thatI gave up searching :-(

Cheers,
