Indeed, the problem was, KDE not finding ui_standards.rc. But
/etc/kde3/ui/ui_standards.rc was in place. Finally, an strace showed
me, that KDE programs only search in $HOME/.kde/share/config/ui for
that file, but not in the system-wide directories. So, as an
intermediate solution, I copied ui_standards.rc to my personal KDE
tree. Does anyone know how KDE determines the directories to search
for this file. Does it depend on environment variables?
Best regards,
Christoph
