K3B will not start?

I've been a happy user of K3B for a long tine now. I've had no problems 
burning data, video, and music CD's. 
 
I use Ubuntu for my OS. I haven't had a need to use K3B in the past few 
weeks. During this time I've had several updates of the OS. Apparently 
one of them broke K3B. Because now it simply refuses to run. No errors 
or logs are generated. I've uninstalled and reinstalled to no effect, 
i.e. no errors on removal or reinstallation. 
 
I'm open to any suggestions on this one. 
 
Bill
