Keith...just got through posting a suggestion. This sounds
disturbingly like the problem that has been reported with kcmclock.
Try "rpm -e kcmclock" and then try "rpm -Uvh kdelibs" and see if that
helps EITHER of these problems.
I'm *guessing* (not yet having installed/upgraded to 6.1) that this
will solve BOTH problems.
