Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

it seems that the package actually compiles all the way, then this happens

it seems that the startkde patch file has startkde.orig as the file that should
be patched... I'm not sure, but I believe that if youjust remove the .orig then
it should work fine.
