quanta won't start

On debian /stable, with
# quanta --version
Qt: 3.3.8b
KDE: 3.5.10
Quanta: 3.5.9

If I try
% quanta index.html
nothing happens, until I give up with ^C

If I try to run Quanta Plus from the KDE menu, I get the little bouncing 
  "I'm starting icon" but then it just goes away.

I tried looking at upgrading,
# wajig showinstall quanta
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
quanta is already the newest version.
quanta set to manually installed.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 985 not upgraded.

and aptitude says
# aptitude search quanta
iBA quanta                                        - web development 
environment for KDE
i A quanta-data                                   - data files for 
Quanta Plus web development environment

What's wrong?  How can I fix it?
