the problem was not a matter of playing QT. I had observed that after a failed attempt to install QT via crossover demo, I had observed a symptom simaliar to what the complaint was , which was, long (1.10 min) delay in startup between kde login and kde being up and running. it seemed to me that after that attempt it took much longer to start kde than it had before. we have had some discussion about removing a line that gets KDE to scan for netscrape pluggins as default each boot.
