First off I'd like to thank all those who helped me w/ my KDE problems... it did indeed turn out to be a path issue and fully resolving the path in the .Xsession file cleared it right up. However, I'm experiencing quite a few crashes and hangs while running KDE... I've narrowed it down to being KDE (or something with it) itself, as when I run QVWM and all sorts of apps I don't have this problem. I get core dumps when running the file browser, mail program, and other programs, and occasionally all the windows just dissapear. Sometimes the whole window manager just freezes.... Are there known compatibility problems/bugs in the 1.0 release of KDE? My hardware is as follows: Cyrix M2-200 CPU Shuttle Hot 557 MB w/ 512 K Cache 64 MB EDO RAM NCR 810 SCSI card w/ 3 2 GB HDD's Toshiba CDROM, Microsoft Intelimouse S3 Virge DX 4 MB PCI video SB 16 USR 33.6 Modem Pretty generic setup. Like I said, everything works great except when I run KDE.
