Mmm. I've just done the same thing, allbeit through a Gentoo install and apart 
from menu spacing issues caused I believe by Qt 3.3, it is working fine. If 
you have a previous KDE 3.1.5 installation all that I can suggest is that you 
get rid of all of the existing installation and compile and install from 
scratch. This includes all of the KDE settings in your home directory, 
backing up what you want to keep and restoring it later of course. If things 
work, and you restore, and then it doesn't work, you'll know what is causing 
it.

A completely clean install of a new version of KDE is the way to go, otherwise 
you run the risk of something not being right somewhere down the line or 
certain programs not being quite binary compatible. This happened when I 
started using Qt 3.3 - make sure you recompile everything against it.

Luca Ferrari - nice name! I wish I had a name like that.

David
