I've talked to Rex about much of this, and pay attention to the 
kde-redhat list. Lately, it has to do with kio_audiocd grabbing 
exclusive locks and messing up my attempts to use shell-scripts to copy 
(my own!) CDs. This seems to be due to a Fedora patch to cdrdao, if I 
remember right, one that causes problems for kio_audiocd. The patch was 
presumably created by someone who wasn't paying attention to KDE.

And I'm having other problems, too, that have nothing to do with KDE, so 
that's leading me to think I should look around.
