You might have additional config files from 2.1 that aren't "compatible" or 
something with 2.2.x.  You might start by completely moving .kde to .kde-bak 
and then move stuff over a directory at a time from ~/.kde-bak and then when 
you get nuked try moving a file at a time (ugh).  It worked for me, but 
'kdeglobals' was the only one that was tripping my 2.2.0 up.

The error below mentions that /dev/dsp is busy.  Perhaps that's causing a 
problem too?  The crashes begin immediately after that error.
