No effect, it behaves the same either way. The thing is that it all 
works fine if the kde environment of the user logging in is virgin. 
Something in the KDE environment that has been configured at some point 
in the past is now causing a core dump on the new machines.  Our old 
machines continue to function normally.  The ultimate solution is to 
simply remove our existing .kde directories and reconfigure our desktops 
from scratch. That is real boring work but in the end may be the 
simplest solution.
