Hello Tom, I tried putting scripts with the following contents: #!/bin/sh export KDEDIR=/usr export KDEDIRS=$KDEDIR:/usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde #!/bin/sh export KDEDIR=/usr export KDEDIRS=/usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde:$KDEDIR into "/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/" Just to be safe, I rebooted. Neither script appeared to have any effect whatsoever. I continue to believe that WHEN we figure this out, we will find SOMETHING wrong in my particular configuration. That being the case, I still wonder why putting: export KDEDIR=/usr export KDEDIRS=/usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde:$KDEDIR in ~/.kde/env/customenv.sh did work for about a week! The only difference was that I had k3b installed in a slightly different path. With "k3b" installed in something like "/usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/k3b" I could open up a terminal, run just "k3b" and "k3b" would start perfectly, detect the encoding & decoding plugins, and I would be able to burn audio CD's without converting them to WAV files first... I suppose many of us have moments like these: why did this USED to work? Steven P.
