Exactly what kind of voodoo did you have to do to get hydrogen working? I looked at the web page and i notice it uses QT3(I am assuming were talking the drum machine program Hydrogen BTW), I don't know if this is significant but I thought KDE used QT4, maybe some interlibrary warfare is going on.... I also know that some updates to X are available, these might solve your problem if you can get them installed. -- "Any fool can know.
