>Description:
Tried to submit this a week or two ago, but the server was not working.

So here it is, late, but, as far as I know, not yet fixed:

I was running 3.3 at home with KDE. I decided to install GNOME/
Enlightenment from CD. This made the KDE libs cease to work 
(linker error message about missing symbols in libkdedui.so.2 among 
others. It's been a while, I have forgotten the precise messages.)
I never bothered to fix it, as I planned on upgrading to 3.4 very 
soon after.

Later I installed 3.4 on a test box at work. I installed KDE and GNOME
libraries, core, etc. (Everything under the rspective entries in
sysinstall). 
And KDE again failed.

To prevent this at home, I avoided installing any KDE ports at first.
 However, one port required kdelibs as a dependency. I later 
installed KDE, and, as expected, KDE apps were broken. I did 
pkg_delete on kdelibs and reinstalled from CD and KDE worked.

At work, the fix was not so easy. I tried to reinstall 
kdelibs from the ports directory and the errors persisted. 
(I plan on bringing in the CD and reinstalling from CD tomorrow. 
I will update then.)
>How-To-Repeat:
Install KDE and GNOME simultaneously, or GNOME after KDE. 
Run any KDE application. Kpat, kshisen, and kmahjongg are 
three I recall failing (and core dumping).
>Fix:
Remove kdelibs and then reinstall. (Does not always seem to work.)
