On upgrading to KDE 3.4 my KDE taskbar (the thing that displays minimized
windows) doesn't start up, and if I try to start it manually I get the
error "The Taskbar applet could not be loaded. Please check your
installation." It works under 3.3. Any ideas? Is there a log somewhere?
TIA

Have you tried creating a test user with no ~/.kde directories just to see
if its an importation problem?

If you used split ebuild, you have to emerge kicker (the kde menu program)

Yeah, tried that but it didn't help.

I'm not doing a split ebuild that I know of, not even sure what it is.
This is odd though. Based on your suggestion I tried pretend emerging kicker
and got these strange blockers with *'s in the name:

# emerge -p kicker

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
