Hi Doc, do you observe any common thing that precedes it? For example, to update Trinity packages during an active session? Or does it happen by accident? You can examine ~/.xsession-errors to see if there is reported any crash when it occurs? As an attempt to resolve the situation without logging out / logging in, without restarting you can try running /opt/trinity/bin/tdeinit. This will replace the existing tdeinit with a new one. Next to this, you can use "dcop tdelauncher MainApplication-interface quit" - this will terminate tdelauncher and then a new one will be started. In addition, you can restart the kicker: "dcop kicker kicker restart". I use it when I do updates of packages during an active session. Cheers -- Slávek
