Hi all!

I've been having trouble with trunk since monday. Sometimes it gave a compile 
error at some point, but that's normal and normally getting another revision 
or even asking in #kde4-devel for the solution gets the job done. The real 
problem that was driving me crazy was that konqueror (which is the only KDE4 
program that I'm testing for now) crashed when I launched it. Probably other 
software did too.

Apparently, I was not the only one. For example jjiglesias was having similar 
problems. pinotree and dfaure gave me the solution: unset XDG_DATA_DIRS and 
execute kbuildsyscoca4 (yes, the 4 is important!). You need also to edit the 
~/.bashrc so that XDG_DATA_DIRS is not set when bash starts.

So the steps:
 1. Execute: unset XDG_DATA_DIRS && kbuildsyscoca4
 2. Edit ~/.bashrc and find any reference to XDG_DATA_DIRS, delete it and 
remplace them all with a sole unset XDG_DATA_DIRS
 3. Execute konqueror to see that now it works
 4. Profit !

Thanks for your time,
       Eduardo Robles Elvira.
