Yes, Mike, I know -- that's sort of why I'm asking.  I had to add this
to the Fedora Core spec file, so that it gets run on upgrade:

# Remove old-style certs directory; new-style is /var/run
# (see bug #194581 for why this is necessary).
/bin/rm -rf /etc/cups/certs

It turns out that KDE tries to 'peer under the hood' and looks
for /etc/cups/certs (the old path) *itself*.  If it actually exists, it
tries to use that for authentication.  When that fails, it tries again
immediately.  Big trouble.
