Yeah, but not startkde. ;) Is that considered an application?

Goodie. Maybe we're getting somewhere. I checked ALL options (forgot to
see if ksmserver was checked already or not -- sorry) and ran startkde
from Gnome's terminal (did this twice in two different X sessions to be
sure):
$ startkde
startkde: Starting up...

Ooh, new valid errors (X server problem?)? Now what?
I tried startx outside of X, but didn't see these errors (same ones as
shown before). :/ Nothing odd in Xorg.0.log:
# tail Xorg.0.log
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
(**) Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
(**) Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
(**) Mouse0: ZAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5
(**) Mouse0: Buttons: 9
(**) Mouse0: Sensitivity: 1
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Mouse0" (type: MOUSE)
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Keyboard0" (type: KEYBOARD)
(--) Mouse0: PnP-detected protocol: "ExplorerPS/2"
(II) Mouse0: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded
> Lets hope we can crack it :)
Good morning (from my side)! We better. I am going to cry if I have to
use another WM!! Gnome is driving me nuts. :(
