Hello all,
   I have seen quite a few posts in here about problems with KDE.  I personally
still have the problem that KDE will show its splash screen, get to
"initializing peripherals" and just sit there.  I have noticed a few PR's,
etc., and KDE's bug database had at least on message claiming this to be a
problem with FreeBSD's threads.  I have gone so far as to remove every port
that KDE depends on (except X) and rebuilt through the ports, but I just
haven't had any luck.  I am running Xfree86 3.3.6 (built from ports) over a
year ago, and KDE2 cvsuped many times, but the latest has been 7 days ago.  Any
known workarounds/fixes would be most appreciated.

regards,
Galen Sampson
