I think this has been broken for a long time. I sent it to debian-kde last
year (http://lists.debian.org/debian-kde/2002/debian-kde-200206/msg00034.html).
There's a cheesy work-around in that message.
Since then, three people have emailed me about it. One, Steve Tate,
even debugged it and came up with another workaround:

I think he was also going to file a proper bug report, but I don't
know whether that happened or not.
