Yes, I had tried that before, several times, without helping effect. I even 
tried it with a fresh, virgin user account, with no KDE config settings other 
than the standard - to make sure there is no old stuff involved. Didn't help.

But I will try that again today or tomorrow and tell you if it worked - there 
had been some updates on my system in the meantime. 

I hope it helps..., CNPing adresses is really disgusting ...  :-)
