Hi, I'm running Gentoo on an Athlon XP with 1GB of RAM. When I log into KDE, even as a newly created user with an empty home directory, as soon as progress indicator comes up, my system hangs. I can then not even change into a text mode console, but have to ssh into my machine to kill KDE. It is possible to get around this problem, either by changing to a console immidiately after entering the password in kdm, and changing back to X only after KDE is finished loading, or by setting the simple progress bar as a progress indidicator. In a possibly related way, I can reproduce the crash by loading a web page in konqueror. The same thing happens with versions 3.3, 3.4 and 3.4.1. Anything I can try? Thanks, Wolf ___________________________________________________ . Account management: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde. Archives: http://lists.kde.org/.
