Kded crashes on amarok quit in gnome, cannot start jack after

Question

I'm running amarok in gnome and it works fine except that I'm getting the KDE crash handler telling me that kded has cashed just after I quit amarok. And amarok seems to keep holding onto hw:0, so I cannot start jack after. Which prosess could I kill to make jack start?
Thanks

If you import the modified folder you'll just end up with duplicates as the ratings and other metadata will be lost. It's starting over from scratch.

Since it works OK in the other account it might be a preference file other than iPhoto's. Try the following:
Trouble Shooting Preferences in Leopard
1 - Create a folder titled "Preferences A" on the Desktop.
2 - Open the working Preferences folder, HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences, and move the contents to the Preferences A folder on the Desktop.
3 - Make a duplicate copy of the Preferences A folder on the Desktop as a precautionary backup.
4 - With the working Preferences folder empty run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed.
NOTE: you may have to drag the contents of the working folder to the trash and empty if moving the contents to the A folder only copies them instead of moving.
5 - If the problem is fixed:
A - open the working Preferences folder (HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences).
B - Open the Preferences A folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Preferences folder.
C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here.
6 - If the problem is NOT fixed, empty the working Preferencess folder and move the contents of the Preferences folder on the desktop back into it.
