Hi.  I'm experiencing the same troubles with the connector tool (I'm trying 
to prepare KOffice packages for Debian).

My startup messages show that the dlopen() for the straight_connector plugin 
is failing.  I added a statement to output dlerror() and I now have the 
following messages on startup:

kivio:    desktopEntryPath=Office/kivio.desktop   library=libkiviopart
kivio: KivioConfig - created
kivio: KivioConfig::KivioConfig() - StencilBackgroundType: 0
kivio: KivioConfig::KivioConfig() - StencilBackgroundFile:
kivio: KivioConfig::KivioConfig() - StencilBackgroundColor: 75 210 255
kivio: KivioPluginStencilSpawner::load() - 
/usr/share/apps/kivio/autoloadStencils/straight_connector.ksp is not a dll
kivio: /usr/share/apps/kivio/autoloadStencils/straight_connector.ksp: 
undefined symbol: x__12KivioStencil

The last two lines are those of particular interest.  As far as I can tell 
(and I quite possibly have no idea what I'm talking about), the library 
straight_connector.ksp can't find the symbols from libkiviopart.so.  The last 
version of KOffice I compiled worked fine; this was a snapshot from 4 April.  
I notice that since then the lib*part libraries have moved from /usr/lib to 
/usr/lib/kde2 and appear now to be dlopened instead of directly linked.  
Perhaps this relates to the cause of the problem?

Anyway, I would love to know how to fix this also since these Debian packages 
are a little overdue. :)

Thanks,
	Ben.
