Here's what I get when I run startkde: (questions will follow):
turingmachine: {2} startkde
startkde: Starting up...

Okay, the QPixmap messages seem to appear before the KDE start screen.
Should this concern me?
kcm_keyboard.a is in /usr/pkg/lib/kde along with kcm_keyboard.la, even
though it's not being found. I also get this error message again when
I try to access the keyboard settings under the configuration tool.
Is there some way I can make kcm_keyboard.la find kcm_keyboard.a?
I don't run KDE as root; is there some program I should set to execute
with root privileges so that the synthesizer can get a better
priority?
Occasionally, /tmp/.ICE-unix seems to migrate to ownership of a
non-root user, and KDE will complain about it. Does anyone know what
might be causing the problem?
Should I be concerned about the mcop warning?
I also get:
ASSERT: "m_widget" in kaction.cpp (2993)
ASSERT: "m_widget" in kaction.cpp (2993)
Every time I close Konqueror. Is this normal?
I've browsed around, can't really find any answers to these questions
at all. (Well, I haven't looked around about the Konqueror or mcop
thing.) Even pointers in the right direction of where to start
looking would help. I can't really use KDE as it is; programs seem
to core dump (sometimes), ksirc can be started from a terminal
emulator but doesn't start from a menu, weird keyboard problems
start to happen, like the shift key seeming to act like the enter
key, and I can't even look at the keyboard settings. So I'm just
starting at the beginning, so to speak, and making the warnings go
away, which is always a good idea.
This is KDE 3.1.4.
