Please excuse my brevity.
I didn't have any config problems at all. I did have to update but its the same thing I have to do when I do a upgrade. It may only be a qt problem but it sure did bork KDE up badly. KDE was practically dead in the water. It reminded me of a ship that got hit by a large torpedo. It was not sinking, it was sunk. Almost nothing KDE worked. No kicker, no wallpaper for the desktop, no KDE menu, no right clicking on the desktop. Also, no way to log out either. The only way to logout was to restart xdm. Yea, no matter what caused it, for ME at least, downgrading was the easiest and fastest. YMMV tho. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...
