When I startup KDE I get these odd messages on the console I start from. I have begun to experience some odd instabilities and wonder if this is due to a X upgrade or something I have done to my KDE installation. Unfortunately I have no idea how long these messages have been showing up since I usually don't look at the console once X have started. I use KDE port kde-3.4.2 for FreeBSD and since I have a very slow machine I don't want to upgrade unless it's a known problem. Suggestions for places to look for problems and solutions, like TFM is appreciated. This is how it looks: ----------------------- startkde: Starting up...
