The script runs fine  here - very odd =OZ

You need to make sure you have the current QT and KDE libraries on your library 
path ($LD_LIBRARY_PATH), or set up in /etc/ld.so.conf, or whatever you do on 
your OS.

Find out what LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set to when you're in KDE, and set it to that 
for *all* your accounts.  Then it works =O)

Well, for me.

Good luck with my script - hope you sort that out.

Mark.
