[ALUG] digikam (and/or kde) help needed

[cl at isbd.net]

I have installed digikam on my Slackware system and it appears to have
installed OK (now that I've added the required libraries).

However there are a couple of issues:-

    When I run it I get a whole load of warning messages from
    kbuildsycoca, mostly about undefined mimetypes, should I just
    ignore these?

    It seems to run artsd (/opt/kde/bin/artsd) when I start digikam,
    since that's a sound application it seems a bit unnecessary, can I
    prevent it from starting?

... and don't tell me to go to the KDE Control Panel to sort things,
I'm not running KDE even though I have all the KDE libraries
installed.
