 The presence of that __check_rhosts_file string always worries me -
 surely nothing should be looking for an rhosts file unless I'm using

You are better off asking the kde mailing list. Look at http://www.kde.org for 
mailing list information. Alternatively, grep the sources. Sorry, but most 
people here are users and the packagers don't tend to do that much with the 
actual source code. I would imagine that it will be in kdelibs or qt. It 
would be helpful if you posted the entire backtrace (or at least the few 
lines around that), so we can see the context.
