Hi, Kim,
	I only use Gnome, so I cannot comment on KDE.  However, have you
rebooted the system?  When a disk fills up, things can be hosed in
temporary files, and in the tmp directory affected by the overwrite or a
file not properly terminated (due to the fill up issue).  A reboot will
sometimes clear these files and let things re-initialize.

	Another issue is whether or not you have a VM running (VMWare or some
other VM such as JAVA can occasionally be badly messed up by a full file
system.) You may have to terminate the VM by hand and restart it to get
it to fully initialize.
