[Solved] KCMInit crashes on KDE load

Since kcminit is part of the kdebase package, I recompiled kdebase with these flags[code:1]CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
[/code:1]

KCMInit still crashes with a signal 11 (sigsegv) when KDE loads. The odd thing is that my keyboard functions just fine considering that I use 2 different keyboard layouts that I can switch between....

I sifted through my log files but found nothing that points or refers to kcminit.... grepping all my logs for kcminit resulted in nothing.

Any ideas??

It seems that one of the kcminit modules that is loaded at KDE start was bunk. I recompiled kdegraphics and problem solved....

[code:1]dracco@epitaph ~ $ kcminit --list
mouse
energy
keys
keyboard
laptop
style
khtml_plugins
keyboard_layout
randr
kgamma
arts
kcmaccess
bell[/code:1]
Which one it was is beyond me. Error logs weren't helpful unless I wasn't looking at the correct logfile.
