Looks to me like your typical spew from KDE and Gnome about confused library symbols, something tried to use sound and got confused when it couldn't start the daemon (daemons *ought* already to be running, shouldn't they?), then something else (reporting again through, or as, kbuildsyscoca) complained when it tried to do something with bitmaps.

Dump kde? Figure out where the installer failed you? Is any of that at all interesting in your position? I'd just ignore it and concentrate on what I can't do with my apps. Once that's solved, the errors should stop. No, those errors are not worrisome to me.
