It appears that maybe portage got the order wrong or something was

After that, it works again. So, either something was built in the
wrong order or KDE had some issue with something. Oh, no config files
to update after that either.
Don't know what fixed it exactly but at least it works again. Maybe
the OP should try rebuilding some packages too? May help, may not.

I spoke to soon I guess. I was gone for a while so I cut my puter off.
Now, the programs don't work as root again even after recompiling those
packages again.
This is weird. Works one time then stops again.
I always run several apps under kdesu and sometimes they don't start. Once I
did an strace and found it hanging opening /var/tmp/kdecache-user; deleting
all those solved the problem.

I was about to post this. I logged out of KDE and went to single user.
I then used ps to list the processes and there was still a kdesu
running. I killed it and a couple other left overs, then logged back in
and everything is working again. It looks like KDE needs to do a little
more clean up when logging out.
I did clear some config files and cache files once before. I lost
bookmarks somehow. I need to save those somewhere so I can restore
them. ;-)
