I hate these mysteries. I rebooted for about the 4th time into kde3 then
logged out and into kde4, which I have done more times than I can
remember while trying to debug the problem and everything now works in
kde4, which I'm pretty certain it did after my update. The only thing I
changed was kdesurc which I added David's suggestion to enable keeping
the root password. I have changed it back to what it was and I will see
if the problem reoccurs.
