Garnome Beaks KDE apps

[Jesse Kline <klinej telus net>]

Hi,

 I've been having problems with Garnome and I cannot figure this one out
for the life of me. The problem is that whenever I am running Garnome it
renders any KDE apps unusable. I have tried Garnome 0.21.0 and 0.21.2
with the same results. I also get the same results with or without the
kde garball installed, and when running Garnome with a newly created
user. However when I su to root and launch a kde app everything works
fine. I have Garnome installed in /opt/garnome and I am launching it
through GDM2. My system is Mandrake 9.0 and I just installed it the
other day (in fact the first thing I did was compiled Garnome), so I
doubt I would have had time to break anything. I have a screenshot of
what KDE apps look like under Garnome here:
http://www3.telus.net/public/klinej/Screenshot.png and here are some
examples of the errors I get when I launch a kde app from the terminal:

Any help/tips/hints/suggestions would be very much appreciated.
