Hello, Everyone :) Has anyone else heard of this problem? I've never had anything like this happen before. When I log into my user account, (sometimes, not always. There is no rhyme or reason as to when it does this) sometimes the desktop icons are flickering. I then proceed to open a terminal window for the purpose of running kpm to find out if there are any offending processes, and it takes a LOT longer than normal to even get a terminal window. When I finally am able to run kpm, (which takes a lot longer than normal to open up), it has multiple occurances of a process called "kfmclient". When I try to kill them, it gives me a message telling me that one of the processes I have chosen to kill has already dissapeared, but then none of the other "kfmclient" processes ever dies. Then (I can't remember which), after I logout and then log back in, or reboot, the problem is gone, and there are no occurances of "kfmclient", and the desktop icons are behaving correctly. I now have about 20 of these "kfmclient" processes running, and I have not started a single one of them. And the desktop icons are still flickering. Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated, and I will gladly submit a bug report if necessary :) Oh yeah, apparently the "kfmclient" processes are running BEFORE the "kpm" program runs. Thanks in advance :) Steven P. Ulrick
