KDEartwork is installed, but no icons.
At first make sure that you ahve these packages installed for your KDE:
kdeartwork
kdebase
kdebase-runtime
kdebase-workspace
kdelibs
kdeplasma-addons
phonon
qimageblitz
qt
soprano
Then remove your .kde settings directory and start KDE.
The gslapt problem is over with the ' xhost +' command. Do I have to keep typing this every time I want to use it?
yes
I also tried copying the entire /home from my slackware install to the salix install, hoping salix would use the slackware settings for kde, but that gave other problems, so I am aiming at fixing this install.
To copy settings files it's best to use rsync.
Would it be a possibility to install a slackware dvd with minimum packages selected and use salix gslapt to update using salix packages. This way the system has no problems with kde, and is happy with mirrors with dependency support. (just asking, let me know if u feel this is not a nice thing to ask)
It's posible, but I doubt that it will help you with your KDE problem. I'm quite sure you are missing some package but I can't tell you which one. Perhaps starting KDE from runlevel 3 with startkde (startx /usr/bin/startkde) shows you some errors.
