mhmm,  looking into .xsession-error shows:

usr/lib/kde3/kio_digikamthumbnail.so: undefined symbol: KExiv2Iface::KExiv2::getImageOrientation()

if only this method is missing.  I would suggest to
just keep this method instead (make as depreacated)
and delay delay API backward break to a future release ;)

  To me vi is Zen.  To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
  a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
  You discover truth everytime you use it.
