Ugh... that's really messed. Ignore my other message, then, asking
what you just answered here.

Too many things that it might be. I'm assuming you did a fresh
install of heretic2 and myth2?
I really don't know what to say... I run heretic2 under gnome just
fine with all the bells and whistles... Athlon 950 with SBLive! on an
ASUS A7V m/b. I don't think it would be a hardware issue if it worked
previously, but I'm not sure what else to suggest.
Have you tried updating kdelibs/arts to the latest version in updates?
Does it work with them?
