This was part of the solution thanks.

I don't know why I didnt' check kdebase directories
along with qt.  /etc/xdg was 700 along with a bunch of
others I didn't write down.

Other users, check what was installed with:
  rpm -ql kdebase
  rpm -ql qt

Follow JRT's instructions for permissions.

And the final step was to remove users' ~/.kde
directory and replace it with /etc/skel/.kde

On a side note, 3.2.1 is a *very* slick and polished
package.  It has its kinks, but its the most
impressive Linux desktop I've dealt with.  The
Kontact/Kmail integration looks especially promising.

Thanks again,
