Is it possible that you compiled k3b against kde-3.3 but
tried to run it in kde-3.2? It usually leads to something like this.

[Comment 2 Jeremy Miracle 2004-09-23 12:49:02 UTC]

Thanks to Gregorio Guidi, the problem was discovered, it appears gentoo never updated the .desktop file in /etc/X11/Sessions/ , so it was running an older version of KDE. 
Thanks all.

[Comment 3 Hunter Cook 2004-09-29 21:20:15 UTC]

I had this same problem. Just wanted to clarify, the change that fixed it was in /etc/rc.conf to "XSESSION".
