------- Additional Comment #52 From Stan Bobar 2005-10-01 18:57 -------
I have had this problem for quite awhile also. After reading through
the list above and following some of the leads you guys provided I
think I have found the source of this problem. If I run kcontoledit as
suggested above then everyting works fine, I can log in and out to KDM
and still go to Administrator mode no problem. However everytime I
reboot the system Administrator mode fails. So after tracing what file
get changed by doing the save with kcontroledit I noticed that there
are two copies of ksycoca. One in /var/tmp/kdecache-(username) and
another in /tmp/kde-(username). On my system I have a bootscript that
cleans out /tmp/ on every boot removing the later file. So I restarted
the system copied the file from /var/tmp/kdecache-(username) to
/tmp/kde-(username) and tried to log in to Administrator mode and
viola it works.
For my solution I simply altered my boot script not to clean out /tmp/.
Looks like if kcontrol can't find the file ksycoca in
/tmp/kde-(username) it just bails out.
