That looks exactly like the problems I ran in on saturday night. Umpf,
I'm happy someone else reported them coz I didn't save the error
messages. BTW, I solved the problem the windows way: deinstalled whole
kde and qt, then installed beta1. Now it works fine (I don't even have
any problems with konsole Page-Up|Down works) except for some little
things:

- flash-plugin doesn't work - it used to work in 2.1.2

- games don't work - /usr/games isn't in $PATH anymore (btw, what's the
Debian way to set it? is there any package setting it? It never was in
$PATH of root)

- *manual* hide animation of the panel doesn't work (well, hiding works - 
but not the animation)
