Check your kernel.  You may need to recompile it to support "System V
interface definition-style interprocess communication, in the form of
shared memory, semaphores, and message queues, respectively." by adding
these lines to your kernel configuration:

    # 
    # These three options provide support for System V Interface
    # Definition-style interprocess communication, in the form of shared
    # memory, semaphores, and message queues, respectively.
    #
    options         SYSVSHM
    options         SYSVSEM
    options         SYSVMSG

That seemed to work for me.  I don't know which are required and which are
not.  I just copied all three options from the LINT config. and recompiled,
and KDE's help worked just fine for me.

Aaron out.
