Bug 100951

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

I have installed kde 3.4 rc1 about two weeks ago, but the problem appeared yesterday. When I logged in, I didn't have the kxkb indicator, so I launched kxkb manually. Instead of showing the flag and the language it showed "err" on a white background. After some research (and loss of hair) I found out that it fails to load xkm files in /tmp/kde-blaster999, so I copied them from a backup dir and launched kxkb. It worked Ok, but if I close it and run again, it shows "err" again and all *.xkm files in /tmp/kde-blaster999 are gone. I think the files are meant to be recreated every kxkb startup, but somehow kxkb fails to do so. I tried many things - I chowned the *.xkm root:users, set the permissions r--r--r--, but still kxkb managed to delete them.
I will try as another user to see if the problem is system-wide or is connected to my settings.
My kxkbrc:
