Description of problem:
Since installing the new kde update (20 dec 2005), k3b crashes on startup.  i can see the splash screen.  it's last message is something about creating the gui.

while i can't say for sure that this only started with the new update, i know it has not worked since then.  i believe i used k3b the day before the update and had it work as had been usual.  but, then, i've slept since then.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
k3b-0.11.23-3   and  arts-1.5.0-0.2.fc4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.click on k3b in applications| sound & video menu
2.
3.
  

Actual Results:  crashes and puts up crash screen.

Expected Results:  heh.  i'd have prefered that it'd continued it's startup and let me copy a disk.  :-)

Additional info:
