It could be that there are some configuration files (or what-not) lying round, since I used to run KDE3, then adapted my preferences to TDE. But so far as I can tell, there is nothing of KDE anywhere, in either programs or dependencies. As for the hacky and hackier tricks ... I'll see if they help. For now, this is just an annoying bug; it slows down my startup time with error messages, but that is about it. Everything else runs fine, as usual. The only real bother is why something would overwrite my changes with KDE again. If that is not a security issue, then I suppose that I can live with the bug. Thanks for everybody's observations and suggestions. Bill
