I did add /opt/kde/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf, ran ldconfig, fiddled with the kde.*
scripts in /etc/profile.d/, and KDEDIR gets set in my .cshrc. Setting KDELIB
didn't help either. 

Good ideas, but they didn't work. Sorry I didn't mention that I tried all those
things in my original post. 

I have now reinstalled all the RPMs from ftp.us.kde.org, and despite their
recommendation that those RPMs not be used with RH 6.0, things are working
beautifully now. 

Cheers,

Joel
