Unmerge EVERYTHING related to KDE-4.2. Every last package you can find, including Qt. Inspect emerge --depclean carefully and run it. Examine your world and make sure there's nothing left from KDE4. Make especially sure you are not mixing stuff from an overlay and the portage tree. Then rebuild the whole lot the way you want it with the actual USE flags you want. This seems the wrong way round, but it isn't. I spent almost a week struggling to no avail with krunner and kopete doing the same things as yours, when complete reinstall fixed all of it in 8 hours. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
