Are there a couple of libraries I can remove that will drag all of kde out along with it? And are all the conf files stored in ~/.kde? thanks as always for the help, Mattremoving your ~/.kde/ will delete your config, so you shouldn't need to reinstall, if you do, taking out kdelibs or qt will remove kde.

THanks for that suggestion Pete.Unfortunately this hasn't solved my problem. There is apparently some issue with the identification of mime types or something, I get an error on starting kde, "klauncher: unknown protocol 'file'"; and when I try to run most kde apps (I really want amarok) from outside kde, I get similar messages. This apparently shows up periodically, and folks have suggested updating my kde libraries, but I've done my best to update everything, e.g. kdelibs*, everything appears to be @ 3.3 now (I'm running unstable).
k3b gives me this error: k3b: Version: 1.0 kio (KSycoca): WARNING: Found version 72, expecting version 75 or higher. kio (KSycoca): WARNING: Outdated database found kio (KSycoca): ERROR: No database available! kio (KSycoca): ERROR: No database available! k3b: (K3b::cutToWidth) not able to cut text to 1! kio (KSycoca): WARNING: Found version 72, expecting version 75 or higher. kio (KSycoca): WARNING: Outdated database found k3b: ERROR: : couldn't create slave : Unable to create io-slave: klauncher said: Unknown protocol 'file'. k3b: KCrash: Application 'k3b' crashing...I've just taken the ill-advised step of trying to run kde as root, and I find that I don't have the problem as root! hmm. Anyone have any idea what I should try next?
thanks, matt
