So after a little digging I could see that linux folks were having the
same/similar problem and had narrowed it down to a mismatch between
the qt 1.4x libraries and the kde core libs.
I pulled down the pkgsrc tar ball and started building the packages.
I temporarily ran into trouble with qwspritelib, but apparently that
was fixed over the weekend.
I now have rebuilt qt, kdelibs, and kdebase, and it seems to be going
smoothly.
Perhaps the prebuilt versions of the kde packages should be rebuilt
in the environment of qt 1.44?
Thanks.
