Without the /usr/bin/ in front of it, it didn't work.  I didn't realize it 
is /path/to/executable sensitive.

I did, along with kde-settings and kde-dcopperl, and it looks as it it all 
working now, including the dock we haven't had for about 6 months.  Nice.

I have NDI if I could now re-install what I took out.

Thanks Craig.
