I was going to try this on mine to see if I could be more helpful.  KSCD 
crashes before it even starts.  So, I'm useless I guess.

dale@fireball / $ kscd
KCrash: Application 'kscd' crashing...
KCrash: Attempting to start /usr/lib64/kde4/libexec/drkonqi from kdeinit
sock_file=/home/dale/.kde4/socket-fireball/kdeinit4__0
unnamed app(12623): Communication problem with  "kscd" , it probably 
crashed.
Error message was:  "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message 
did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" "
QSocketNotifier: Invalid socket 11 and type 'Read', disabling...

I'm not worried about fixing it tho.  It's most likely something that 
needs to be rebuilt.  I did the obvious ones but will do a emerge -e 
world later when it gets cold.  Maybe that will work.  Just goes to show 
tho, when you think you got issues, someone comes along with a worse 
one.  At least yours opens Colleen.  lol
