KDE3.1.2/sid - missing mime types
In order to use KDE3.1.2 I upgraded from sarge to sid....but now KDE has
become unusable. The KDM sign-in screen appears normally and allows
log-in, but this is followed by a flurry of error messages: and
eventually a blank screen rather than the desktop:
Error - KDesktop Could not start process
unable to create io-slave
Klauncher said: unknown protocol "file"
Sorry - KDE Panel could not find mime-type
application/octet-stream
inode/directory
inode/directory-locked
inode/blockdevice
inode/chardevice
inode/socket
inode/fifo
application/x-shellscript
application/x-executable
application/x-desktop
Clearing all these messages leaves a blank screen but at least the right
mouse button does give access to the menu.
Looking at kdm.log gives these error messages:
kdecore (KIconLoader): ERROR: Error: standard icon theme "crystalsvg"

According to dselect I have the latest versions of all the packages
installed (kde-core with some additions).
X itself seems to be working if I don't try to use KDE - I am currently
using Mozilla with Windowmaker.
It seems to me that some essential KDE configuration has got left out
and I would be grateful for help in putting things back together.
