I get this starting KDE:

This is on NetBSD 1.6.1, pretty much just "make install" from
pkgsrc/meta-pkgs/kde3.  A very regular situation.

The QPixmap messages occur before the KDE splash screen.  Should that
concern me?  Doesn't come up at any other time.

kcm_keyboard.a is in the same directory as kcm_keyboard.la.  I can't
fathom why it's not being found.  This also stops me from looking at
the keyboard configuration in the KDE configuration utility.

I haven't defined any signal handler.  Is this a NetBSD thing?

I also get:

ASSERT: "m_widget" in kaction.cpp (2993)
ASSERT: "m_widget" in kaction.cpp (2993)

Every time I close Konqueror.

Are any of these known issues running KDE on NetBSD, or with pkgsrc?

Hopefully, I haven't messed up something really obvious, though it
feels/seems like I have.. but I have honestly spent a not
insignificant number of hours trying to fix this myself. ;)  (KDE
errors don't seem well documented for the end user.  Feels like I'd
have to start getting into heavy stuff with the KDE internals to
figure out how to fix some minor errors.  Altogether, fvwm is looking
better all of the time...)


Thanks,


Adam
