Open dialogs don't work..

I just installed Suse 8.2, and am using KDE 3.1. Well, actually, I'm being forced to use Gnome(I'd rather you gag me with a spoon!) because none of the open, save, or similar dialogs are working in KDE or any of its native apps.

For example, in KEdit, if I select File->Open, I get what appears to be an infinitely large window. No amount of resizing brings it down to a usable size, and it doesn't respond to any sort of maximizing or such. If I ran KEdit from commandline, I see the following errors:

WARNING: KDE detected X Error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) \x08
Major opcode: *

.. and they continue like that as I try to manipulate the window.

What is causing this and how do I fix it? Until it is fixed, I must suffer with Gnome..

Still have problem

So yeah, 10 days later and I'm still stuck. All KDE apps, which tend to be the most useful, I might add, are useless to me. And, I still haven't a clue what's going on or how to fix it...

HELP!!!!

I'm afraid I don't know what might be the source of your problem.
I just want to say that some colleagues of mine are running
exactly this SuSE version without any problems so it doesn't
seem to be an obvious flaw in SuSE.

Did you do a fresh install or did you upgrade?
If you upgraded and have any old .kde* directories around
try to rename them out of the way or even better try
with a newly created test user.
That way you can be sure it's not your old config
that causes it.

It was a completely fresh install, reformatted drive and everything. This problem was one of the first things I noticed.

I'm going to double check that all my versions are the latest, maybe there's one or two in there I missed, will fix it..
