Does "eix kioslaves" show anything you don't have installed? A long time 
ago I recall installing all of those I thought I might ever need, and 
several issues just went away.

One of the reasons binary distro users don't have as many issues as we 
Gentoo'ers is the binary distro installs everything from the KDE 
project, and we get to pick and choose, often wrongly :-)
