After a tortuous installation of KDE 3.2 on a 9.0 system, I've encountered, 
among others, a nasty problem with arts.   It started when I logged in after 
installation and got a box with this message:

   During the previous startup, KNotify crashed while instantiating KNotify.  
Do you want to try again or disable aRts sound output?

I could not get past that except by disabling aRts, and now I have no sound.

The detailed traceback was:

Does anyone here know what I need to do to get my sound back?
