QT and KDE apps fail to install, access violation

Hi, I was wondering if anyone might know why I keep getting access errors like:

open_wr: /usr/local/qt/etc/settings/.qtrc.lock

The above error will appear multible times in the sandbox log file.

When install QT or what appears to be any KDE app. I can actually get around this by emerging each package with the -b option to build a package file. I then emerge the package again (as it just failed due to the access violation) using the -k switch and the package installs fine. I actually emerged all of KDE beta2 except kdebingings which failed to completely build. I have been having this problem for a few months now, but since I decided to install KDE beta2 it became a bigger problem for me...

I have the same trouble with the emerge of QT3.1.

How to solve it ?

Funny thing is since emerging QT3.1 I don't have to build the binary packages anymore and then install them. I don't know if I am getting the access violations for sure, but if I am, it nolonger prevents the package from being successfully emerged... I am going to delete all the sandbox logs that have built up in my tmp dir and see if any new ones appear!

I searched bugzilla and found: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11144

They suggest deleting the /usr/qt/3/etc/ directory before you start compiling.

Qt is building now, so let's hope it works.

Edit: It worked!

I found a section in the kde.eclass which seems to handle this problem:
