Hi Murray, The outdated 3.5.10 version of kdelibs in the Ubuntu archives (including kdelibs-data) is not compatible with the new KDE3/Trinity version of kdelibs (which includes kdelibs-data-kde3). Please remove kdelibs-data, and note which programs will be removed with it. Then try reinstalling those programs, but with a -kde3 suffix appended. For example, kolourpaint becomes kolourpaint-kde3. Hope this helps!
