I've seen your thread on kde-linux and it looks like something could be wrong with the 3.5.8 packages of Debian, though I haven't seen any complains on the debian-kde list. If I remember correctly the "echo debugging" you did in startkde indicates that it hangs at starting ksmserver. Unfortunately this does quite a lot, e.g. starting infrastructure services (knotify, kded), autostart handling, session restoring, etc. Can you try modifying startkde so it starts ksmserver directly (without kwrapper), i.e. just ksmserver $KDEWM If it still hangs you could try something like strace ksmserver $KDEWM 2> /tmp/ksmserver-strace Cheers, Kevin -- Kevin Krammer, KDE developer, xdg-utils developer KDE user support, developer mentoring
