Unfortunaly, I was unable to verify if all of them were needed or if the suid bit is safe on all those files. Nevertheless, you probably have either an old ports tree with an old KDE 1.2 port or an old package. Just change the permissions according to the port file and everything should be fine. Regards, Mario Ferreira ps: I can submit a simple sh script to be placed on the FAQ for reference if need be.
