Noted.  Thanks.  I did do an update last evening --just for KDE-3.5.0-- and, 
since I did not install anything beyond the norm --except for using the 
automatix script for a few things-- everything seems to be okay.  The 
problems I had last time were visible just w/reboot (I didn't even have to 
run an app), but what really got my attention was k3b.  For the rest of it, I 
just yawned, pulled out my backup and checked w/the list to see if anyone 
else had this prb.  

Guess I really ought to pull the plug on some of those archives.  What got
me interested in them in the first place was the fact that I use the non-gui  
mplayer extensively and I kept getting a not found msg.  Now I have it.

Thanks, again. :-)
