what worked for me (and I had some similar types of issues - no problems
with firefox and rarely use konq but amarok & xmms didn't work for me)

I updated (which you have done), ran the soundcard detection and then
restarted. It cleared things up nicely for me.

Tried that yesterday when Amarok stoped working. And until K3B made
it's noise I thought that the problem was with the soundcard.

And no I've no internet on that machine! On the router the green light
is lit, so it apparantly 'sees' the linbox, but the linbox doesn't
even see then router when I use the router's IP address.
