getting a little closer:
 I added the site to my repositories, then installed all the files from that 
depositoryabove, all the kdebase3 shtuff, plus two more files listed in the 
directory. Now i get a popup about a new medium detected,the medium type is a 
Camera, the two options available are opening it inj a new window, or browse 
it in Gwenview. gwenview just shows empty, opening in a new window produces a 
conq window with one folder in it.
the window is titled system:/media/camera,  has one folder named "USB PTP 
Class Camera", and clicking on it just opens up one more folder named exactly 
the same, ad infinitum!!

below is the logs "tail" , from /var/log/messages:
