Hi all -

Well I found my problem. I had a 'slot' defined in an .h file
that did NOT have any code defined! The compile/link (make)
process proceeds w/o warnings or errors. The kicker
starts properly from the panel->add->applet->whatever menu,
but does NOT start after a session restart (see above).

Although no one responded to my query, I am posting this
so others can be warned.

KDE core developers: is there some way to catch this 'stupid'
error in the make? Can a warning or error be generated? I know
I would have saved a lot of time and grief.

Aloha => Beau;
