8 I've played around with the ~/.kde* files a lot. I've tried removing
9 them, as well as kde tmp files in /tmp and /var/tmp. I've also tried
10 creating a completely new user. With a new user or no ~/.kde files
11 kicker crashes on startup and I get no bar at the bottom. With my
12 current ~/.kde* files the bar starts, but it's applets like the
13 clock or the thing that shows minimized apps doesn't work.

55 > Does Konqueror work?
56
57 Konqueror is a good example. I just emerged konqueror, to try to fix it,
58 and it didn't fix it (and broke some other stuff, see below). When I run
59 Konqueror it runs but first I get:
60
61 "There was an error loading the module About-Page for Konqueror. The
62 diagnostics is: /usr/kde/3.1/lib/kde3/konq_aboutpage.so: cannot open shared
63 object file: No such file or directory"
64
65 I suspect that if I could figure out why konqueror (and other apps) seem to
66 still want to point to 3.1 libraries I could get to the bottom of my problems.

70 Konsole works. I don't run kmail, it messes with my email.
71
72 > Do most things work?
73
74 Other than kde stuff, my system is fine. As for kde stuff, it's hit an
75 miss. The kde desktop is usuable, but I get errors and things are missing.
76 Kedit works.

78 > The Control Center?
79
80 Control center runs, but most of the pages are just generic pages with
81 no accessible options.

83 > The Menu Editor?
84
85 I don't have it...not sure why.

89
90 Yeah, most packages are up-to-date.
91
92 >What does 'emerge -Dup world' say (after a sync)?
93
94 Actually that emerge of konqueror I did last night really hosed some stuff
95 up and a bunch of kde packages went away (don't ask me why) and kde crashed,
96 so I'm re-emerging kdebase right now and can't check but I will get back to
97 you. In general though, my system is very up to date. It was a little out
98 of date, but in the process of trying to fix this I sync'd and emerged
99 most everything that needed it.

103 I think I removed it trying to get revdep-rebuild to work.

107
108 I will get back to you with this info after kde finishes later today.
109
110 > Does revdep-rebuild now run without problems?
111
112 It did a few days ago, after much work.

117 OK, sorry. I appreciate the help.
