I had to log out and back in anyway so I watched to see if the error 
popped up again.  It does for what I would call a flash.  It says it is 
starting then a few seconds later I see a flash of the error box.  If I 
were to blink, I would miss it.  It is gone really fast.

Since I can't actually read anything in the box, I opened Kopete, which 
usually shows the error too, and it connected just fine with no error at 
all.  I guess it took it two tries to get its ducks in a row.  It may 
not be a error that is popping up but just a box where it is checking 
its config and since it is working, it just closes itself.

Soooooo, sqlite and KDE 4 don't work together.  MySQL is required.  This 
also seems to please Seamonkey, Firefox and something else that uses 
MySQL instead of sqlite.

Now we know.

One thing down.  What is this mc thing?  I got to go install this and 
see if it is a replacement for Dolphin.
