Hi,

I upgraded to 3.5 via the kde-redhat-stable repository (using Fedora Core 4).

Most things seem fine, except that users are presented with a blank panel when they attempt to configure their display panel. (I.e.: Settings -> Desktop -> Panels displays a window with no contents.)

Since this works as expected for "root," I suspect a permissions problem.

Can anyone suggest which components needs their permissions changed so users can configure their own panels? I did look a the "kicker" files, but they were all rwxr-xr-x, so that wasn't where the problem could be found.

This was discussed on the kde-redhat-users list and the following worked for me:

Try running (as the affected user):
$ kbuildsycoca --noincremental

and

Undo/revert previous menu reconfig/customizations:
$ mv ~/.config ~/.config.BAK

I had been struggling with the same bug after installing kde-redhat rpms, and your solution worked. Thanks!
