I'm setting up a SUSE 10 Linux box for one of my coworkers and, after having everyone at work hear me say how great Linux is and how much better it is than Windows, I'd really like this to be as good an install as possible. Everything seems to be working well except for frequent kbuildsycoca crashes and teh annoying error messages that go along with them.
I've looked at my ~.xsession-errors and found the following (edited to reduce some of the repetitions:
Code: Select all

The following message showed up several times in the .xsession-errors file:

Any thoughts?
