I made a fresh using the 1.4 gentoo LiveCD and using arch=x86 so eveything should be stable. I emerged qt-3.2.3,kdelibs 3.1.4 and arts-1.1.4 as dependencies for kopete-0.7.4 and k3b-0.10.3-r2. The problem is that both these apps behave strangelly. Whenever i try to launch any of them i get the following output... QPixmap: Cannot create a QPixmap when no GUI is being used QPixmap: Cannot create a QPixmap when no GUI is being used And then the app just hangs, no matter how long i left running it just sits there. If i try to run it again same thing happens, however if i run kbuildsycoca and then launch the app it shows the same QPixmap warning but it will eventually start but with strange behaviour. K3b will hang on the bootsplash on the "Creating GUI" part for about 10 minutes and then start normally, as for kopete it takes a very long time to connect to MSN. I then installed kdebase 3.1.4 just to see what would happen and when i started KDE (via startkde in .xinitrc) the app would hang on the bootsplash in the "Initialising System Devices" part until the bootsplash eventually disapeared and i was left with a blue screen and a working cursor. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Launch k3b or kopete either from a terminal or a desktop icon 2.kill the launched app via kill or killall 3.run kbuildsycoca 4.Launch again k3b or kopete Actual Results: Results for K3B (running first time) root # k3b QPixmap: Cannot create a QPixmap when no GUI is being used QPixmap: Cannot create a QPixmap when no GUI is being used ---#Hangs for 10 minutes and then prints the msgs below#---- kbuildsycoca running...

Created attachment 23208 [details] K3B strace K3b hangs on the port binding part
After running strace i found out what the problem was. Every thing would break when something socket related was used. KDE couldn't bind any socket to localhost because of my iptables config. Changed that and it's working fine now.
