[kde-linux] After installing Debian, running programs don't appear in Taskbar

[david]

This is a reinstall - my many-years-old Debian installation had 
accumulated a lot of cruft and reacted very badly to a recent Xorg 
update. So I installed Debian Etch with KDE 3.5.5. Since then, no 
running programs appear on the taskbar, either as tiles, or as the 
little tray icons that Kopete and SMB4K use.

While I can live without programs appear on the task bar, SMB4K and 
Kopete are pretty useless without their little icons.

How to get them back?
