KsCD Not Seen in KDE, Volume Control

Hi all:
I'm experimenting with KDE in FC1, after using Gnome exclusively in FC1. I can
pop in an audio CD and hear the music, but there is no GUI that pops up as
I'd expect from KsCD. Thus I don't have any controls, no volume control, no
shuffle button, no play button, etc.
I'm getting sound through it just fine, but I there isn't a GUI to control it.
When a CD is playing, I can see that KsCD is running, since it is in my
process list:
charshaw 11010 1 0 09:15 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/kscd
If I type kscd at a prompt, nothing comes up, however if I run strace kscd, I
get an exit (here is a snippet of the last few lines from strace kscd, if it
may be helpful):
[...much output deleted...]
read(3, "\0\0\0\vDCOPServer\0\0\0\0\20anonymous-110"..., 52) = 52
write(3, "\2\2\2\0S\0\0\0\243\0\0\0", 12) = 12
write(3, "\0\0\0\20anonymous-11075\0\0\0\0\5kscd\0\0\0\0"..., 60) = 60
write(3, "\0\0\0\17/home/charshaw\0\0\0\0\0", 23) = 23
read(3, "\2\5\0\2!\0\0\0", 8) = 8
read(3, "\243\0\0\0", 4) = 4
read(3, "\0\0\0\5kscd\0\0\0\0\20anonymous-11075\0\0\0\0"..., 33) = 33
read(3, "\2\6\0\0021\0\0\0", 8) = 8
read(3, "\243\0\0\0", 4) = 4
read(3, "\0\0\0\5kscd\0\0\0\0\20anonymous-11075\0\0\0\0"..., 49) = 49
close(3) = 0
getpid() = 11075
getpid() = 11075
getpid() = 11075
exit_group(0) = ?
I've searched bugzilla, but didn't see a related bug, and searched the archive
for the list for "kscd" and "kde cd player" and had no results.
Perhaps something I installed via yum broke kscd? The only related packages I
can think of would be kaffeine and k3b.
And a related question about KDE: Where is the volume control in KDE? I was
able to add an applet to the panel that had a mixer (but really prefer to use
the panel real estate for other things), but I don't see something analagous
to the Volume Control found in Gnome. I'm sure there is one, but I just don't
readily see it where it seems like it ought to be.
Thanks,
Clint
