**********************************
I notice that I get the following in .xsession-errors when I try to load a theme:
"sh: line 1: cd: /home/angus/.kde/share/apps/kthememgr/Work/: No such file or
directory
fcntl: Bad file descriptor"

It is true that I don't have the /Work directory present.

I actually am getting many lines of the: "fcntl: Bad file 
descriptor" in my .xsession-errors file of late. It may not be related to the themes 
issue. The first line seems to be though. What is "fcntl"?

Is this a clue?
