Hi Kevin

The version i am trying to use the configs from is the version that came with 
KDE 4.3.1 on an opensuse 11.2 RC  version  it is a problem i have come across 
several times  unless i use kde as root but as a user i have always had to 
fight this problem and normally end up redoing it all by hand but thats going 
to take me a month of sundays to do now
