  uhm, we are about to upload a new kdebase for a security fix. if we're
  quick enough to spot what's wrong, we may get to include a fix in
  time.

  first of all, I've tried to reproduce the bug in a clean chroot and I
  was not able to. it works properly.

  secondly, it's seems odd that the bug has reappeared, since the code
  has not changed and the fix was included in one of the latest uploads.
  I imagine the answer will be 'yes', but are all the packges updated to
  their latest versions?

  third, could you please check with a newly created system users?
  sometimes these problems are caused by bogus, old, configuration
  files...

  thanks. I will try to reproduce again now.
