No offense here, but I did a search back three months and see that all of your 
email questions were responded to.  A correct answer may or may not have been 
forthcoming but, from what I can tell you were getting responses.

However, to answer the wacom question a quick search through the archives and 
a google search for this issue would quickly reveal the solution.   Its a 
popular question on the list.  Wait around a couple of weeks, it'll come up 
again.  

I think, however, that Nigel's problem (the OP) is more than just a wacom 
issue.  I believe Nigel would know how to hunt that part down.   However, the 
wacom errors will not help nor hurt Konqueror from starting up as root.  

Even when I got those errors (for a long time I never worried with them) my 
apps never failed to start on a random basis like that.
