Then I'm all dry, you could try with forums.debian.net and see if they can
help you.

Thanks for trying. It's a crazy issue. I wonder if it is something
really stupid and minor that causes this madness.

You can see thi issue discussions on KDE's mailing list with a KDE
developer: http://lists.kde.org/?t=119527809700002&r=1&w=2 (pretty
long). Maybe you will get more ideas on what we tried so far. Smile

I will keep following up in this newsgroup thread as well.
