11 No... Are you sure it's using qt-4? qt major versions are slotted and
12 from qt3 to qt4 the library names have changed.

18 In an ideal world, yes - however in reality that code has changed
19 dramatically from 3.3.6.

21 First thing to do is to run kdesktop_lock from a terminal, and see
22 whether the error is the same. Also do:
23
24 readelf -d $(which kdesktop_lock)
25
26 and see which QT version it links to - if the rpath
27 includes /usr/qt/3/lib then it's linking to QT3 not QT4.
28
29 Report any findings on the same bug.
