For some time now (first reported to kde list 23 August), when trying to start any KDE apps from _any_ x-terminal produced "error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libkdeui.so.3: undefined symbol: styleChange__8QToolBarR6QStyle" - and the program wouldn't run. Type the same command after doing [Alt-F2] and it works. At last I've found out what causes it. Kylix. Kylix uses its own (in /usr/local/kylix/bin) libqt.so.2.2.4, which is OK, except that Kylix adds its paths to the environment in /etc/profile, so the different libqt.so libraries conflict. I've found that I can safely remove the Kylix addition to /etc/profile. This removes the libkdeui error and Kylix still works. It took me a whole month to track this one down, which makes me feel somewhat foolish, but I've been doing too many things at once - new hardware, new KDE and keeping up with Cooker - I clean forgot I'd installed kylix!
