Further info, kde is konstruct built 3.2.3, machine has an rh8 install updated to Fedora Core 1, with a 2.6.7-rc3-mm2 kernel (but the problem is not kernel specific, its existed for the last year. Let me append something I just found. I was able to access one of the settings menu's without crashing the toolbar, and it said that the command to run that function was "kcmshell printmgr", so I opened a regular shell window and typed that, and got this: [root@coyote root]# kcmshell printmgr kio (KSycoca): Trying to open ksycoca from /var/tmp/kdecache-root/ksycoca kcmshell: [KCModuleInfo::KCModuleInfo(KSharedPtr<KService>)] /usr/share/applications/kde-printmgr.desktop kdeui (KCModule): KCModule kcmprintmgr kdeprint: kdeprint: registering 0x80cbb3c, number of objects = 1 kdeprint: kdeprint: registering 0x80dfd8c, number of objects = 2 kdeprint: kdeprint: registering 0x8111cc8, number of objects = 3 kdeprint: kdeprint: registering 0x813ee30, number of objects = 4 kdeprint: kdeprint: registering 0x813ed58, number of objects = 5 kdeprint: kdeprint: registering 0x817a0dc, number of objects = 6 kcmshell: KMMainView::slotChangeView kdeprint: Checking for update possible kdeprint: Starting async connect kdeprint: Connection success, trying to send a request... Now, at this point I have the printmgr window open for about 1 long second, then: Alarm clock [root@coyote root]# And it all goes away and I'm back to a shell prompt. Does this offer enough additional info that someone could comment on? -- Cheers, Gene There are 4 boxes to be used in defense of liberty. Soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
