Right.. after strugling with CVS HEAD, which appears to be b0rken at the 
moment [1] , I checked out KDE_3_3_0_BETA_2 kdelibs/kdebase and rebuild with 
and without the kdeinit pruning.. 

And the patch indeed seems to be causing a few problems here and there (so far 
kcookiejar has probs and the kicker preferences button).

down and shot.. or at least ridiculed a bit :)
