You're right. I failed to give some necessary data: Suse 10.3, at the
time I was running OpenOffice.org 2.3, although it happened with other
than OOo. Since I do not change the kde version of an existing
distribution, I am running the KDE version that same with Suse 10.3. I
do not modify (re-compile) my distribution. This happened out of the
blue. I have since shut down the computer and restarted. The problem
went away.
My concern: I'm sure it will happen again.
