Very Computer

I just installed Kde 3.0.1 with the Slackware .tgz's (using slackware 8.0).
When i start Kde the startup procedure goes by without any problems until
the panel (kicker) crashes at startup. The kicker error message is:

/usr/lib/qt-3.0.4//plugins/imageformats/libqjpeg.so: Feature JPEG already
defined in /usr/lib/qt-3.0.4/plugins/imageformats/libqjpeg.so!
/usr/lib/qt-3.0.4//plugins/imageformats/libqmng.so: Feature MNG already
defined in /usr/lib/qt-3.0.4/plugins/imageformats/libqmng.so!
libpng error: Not a PNG file
libpng error: Not a PNG file
kdecore (KLibLoader): library libkminipagerapplet.la not found under
'module' but under 'lib'
KCrash: crashing.... crashRecursionCounter = 2
KCrash: Application Name = kicker path = <unknown> pid = 674
ERROR: KUniqueApplication: DCOP communication error!

When looking for a soulution for this problem on the www i've found that
it's fairly common, and the solutions mostly given are adding        
export KDEDIR='/opt/kde3/'
export QTDIR='/usr/lib/qt3'
to the .bashrc or to the startkde script, i've tried both of these, but they
haven't worked.
I hope you can help, because I love kde.

Did you turn font anti-aliasing on?  If you can launch kcontrol
from X, try turning them off.  There are of course many problems
for kicker not working.  This is one I bumped into a few weeks
ago with KDE 3.0 on one of the binary distributions.  :-)

No such problems in Gentoo though.  Even with anti-aliasing.

I have tried with both user and superuser accounts and antialiasing on and
off. I have no idea what's causing this.

Have you deleted the .DCOP* files in the user directories too?

thanks, but it doesn't work. It seems this is a global error, because the
same thing happens with a brand new user.

He may also want to try renaming his kickerrc for a rather painless
troubleshooting step.  $HOME/.kde/share/config/kickerrc  
(or .kde3 or .kde? )

Ah, well then my advice about the kickerrc is not going to work then.
