Amarok crashes immediately as a non-root user. I could not manage to find any bad permission, but I could have missed some. Recent upgrades I've made (rolling back did not fix): x11-libs/pango-1.24.2 => -1.22.4 media-libs/freetype-1.4_pre20080316-r1 => -1.4_pre20080316-r2 kde-base/kde-env-4.2.3 => -4.2.3-r1 kde-base/libkworkspace-4.2.3 => -4.2.3-r1 Rolling back those packages did not fix the error. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Actual Results: Here's the crash output: <unknown program name>(17337)/: Communication problem with "amarok" , it probably crashed.

I should mention this is a nearly immediate crash. If I move ~/.kde4 and start amarok, I see the splash screen for a few seconds.
hmmm, xine crashes with a segmentation fault in libxine (according to gdb). Removing ~/.xine fixed it. It's been a long time since I ever touched media-libs/xine-lib.
