These type of errors wrt relocation errors seem to be fairly common with KDE. However, I have never seen them on my own box. Perhaps you need to disable prelink completely for the error to go away? Even with the new libxrender1 I can still run KDE fine and get no error messages related to relocations in .xsession-errors Chris
