One more bug zapped! =8^)

Every KDE upgrade, it seems something or other quits, here.  I run
seriously customized, so resetting everything to the default and
recustomizing isn't a palatable option.  I've become rather adept at
finding the issue rather fast, but I always make a backup of the dir
before the upgrade, just in case something goes horribly wrong and it
destroys the entire config rather than just refusing to work in one or two
areas.

With KDE, the problem file is usually in one of two subdirs under
~/.kde/share, either apps or config.  Knowing that and the application
with the problem, it's a pretty quick job to check one, and if there's
nothing for the app there, check the other.  Under config, it's individual
files, under apps, its subdirs with a collection of files.  Some have
their config split so part exists in either location.  In any case, it's
usually a five-minute job to find the culprit, rename it, restart that
particular component of KDE, and verify.  Some things, like my
kicker/panel config, are so complex I'll actually dive into the file and
troubleshoot down to the individual section and line, rather than
recustomize the entire app from scratch.
