Slackware 13.37, KDE4.5.5.
Is there another location (other than the .kde folder) where kde

My standard way of recovering from "kde won't start" has failed me
since this is based on restoring a previously good .kde folder in
place of the existing one that is causing problems. Now I have a
failure of startup of KDE (but other users and other window managers
for the same user start up fine).
Symptoms are: Spalsh screen shows, but no progress with the icons
which should slowly appear. Dumped back to console where I see:
"
startkde: Starting up...
Connecting to deprecated signal
QBusConnectionInterface::serviceOwnerChanged(QString,QString,QString)
kded(3521): Communication problem with "kded" , it probably crashed.
Error message was "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown" : "The
name org.kde.kded was not provided by any .service files" "
"
This all started when KDE crashed when I foolishly tried to add a
"Launcelot" application launcher widget to my desktop. I already had a
"Quicklauncher" widget, but on trying to configure the new widget,
screen went black and I had to ctrl-alt-BS to close X and get back to
a console.
Thanks
Possible further clue as top what has gone wrong: When I try to run a
KDE app (dolphin, knoqueror etc) from within xfce, I get :
Code:
QGtkStyle was unable to detect the current GTK+ theme
Bus error
I think it is the Bus Error that is significant because if I do the same
thing for as another user who has not got the broken kde, you still see
the QGtkStyle error (and a whole lot more messages too) but then the
dolphin window opens OK.
