Not a big problem for you because he was complaining that he is getting 
these kdetv messages, but he did not request them.

irkick is talking automatically with lircd, but if it cannot recognize your 
remote, then it will present you with an empty configuration dialog.
So it seems that you need to create a remote definition file that matches 
your remote.
You need a file with the same name as your remote is called in your 
lircd.conf.
It is not too hard to write a new remote definition file. Just take an 
existing one and modify it to match yours from the lircd.conf.

I will try to help you, but I'm short on time currently. So try what I 
wrote above and report back if you have any problems.
