Some things to try:
- Try removing the ".kde" folder (The "Local KDE directory" as listed by 
rk.sessionInfo()), then start again. For testing purposes, leave native 
dialogs turned on, on the first attempt, then turn them off in a second attempt.
- Try, whether this workaround affects things: http://www.mail-

Confirmed. It's a new bug in kdelibs. Working on a fix right now.
