qcad-2.1.6.4-1-prof.linux runs only as root

Hi all,
I have just downloaded qcad-2.1.6.4-1-prof. linux and uncompressed it in my home directory (where all previous qcad versions are perfectly working).

When qcad is launched it shows the initial splash reporting that libraries and so on are being loaded. Then the main window appears but just hangs not responding to any click of the mouse.
No messages appear on the terminal window.

When launched as root it runs smoothly. I checked all the permissions flags and owner which seem to be ok.

Thanks for any hints,

Pier

PS
Linux Gentoo OS

Well,
it looks like any user can start and use qcad-2.1.6.4-1-prof from my installation directory but me.... weird...

Solved

I don't know why but removing:

~/.config/RibbonSoft

and its contents QCad.ini

did the trick.
