What is different on a laptop that has a problem? Thanks Rajko for replying, I will try to answer your questions as best as I can. I do not know what is different about the desktop in question from other desktops or my laptop that does not have the problem.
It appears that configuration is not stored, or KDE is not looking at your home dir for some reason. OK, and how would I determine that this is the problem?
That could be problem with write permission in your $HOME/.kde4 directory. There is few reasons that I can list from top of my head: The permissions on my .kde4 directory seem normal, I am the owner, and users is the group. Just for grins, I did a "chmod -R ugo+r .kde4" to make sure anyone can read the files within the directory or its subdirs. I do have write permission on the directory and it appears that I have write permission on everything within the directory and its subdirs.
You ran some configuration with administrative privileges and user environment variables, like it happens with command "su". Not that I know of.
You reused old home partition and update did work well on .kde4 directory. Yes, this sounds like a possibility. I do reuse my old home partition as I have so much within it that I do not want to lose during an upgrade. Any suggestions on how I can repair/recover if this is the problem?
Your update did not work well and some library is either corrupt, or not correct version. Hmmm again I do not know what to do about this if indeed it is the problem. Suggestions?
There could be other problems, like having dying hard disk, so you experience intermittent errors. Seems like if my hard drive was dying I would be seeing other problems as well. This seems like a highly specific error, and is very repeatable.
