Hi, Nigel.

This is a known bug in KDE 3.5.3.  I think an official fix has been released, 
but it hasn't been patched in Kubuntu yet.

I found a fix here:

Hint: once you've downloaded the new libkdeinit_kdesktop.so file, make sure 
you make it executable.  Also be sure to back up the files that you'll be 
replacing.
