Your theory, then, is that some mice may have gotten a SVN account and 
screwed up the branch tree.  Reverting to the last release is a pain in 
SVN because it never works perfectly, but I will try.

No difference.  What I was really puzzled by is what the hell:

means.

Well I see that that joke fell flat, but that is the distro I currently use:

Yes, I have a copy of "trunk" as well, but it didn't compile the day I 
tried 1.4 BRANCH.

I suppose that I am supposed to feel sorry for you since in the USA I 
have unlimited DSL for $29.95 per month.

That is why I posted to the list rather than file a bug report.  But, as 
I said, the other koffice apps seem to work OK.

So, I will rebuild using 1.4.2 and see if I still have the same problem.
