I had the same problem. IIRC I had to delete a kivio rc file to get it 
going...

 Well IMHO it looks pretty good (koRuler). I'll try KoCanvasRuler as well 
though. I can only see it in action using krita so far?
 One thing that didnt seem well with the rulers in kivio were that it seemed 
to flicker quite a bit. Does KoCanvasRuler have the same problem?
Cheers,

Rob.
