When kde died that presented me with running programs thru terminal. So when I ran guild wars thru the terminal that was when it floated away. Giving all the background and symptoms seems to confuse too many people. so instead of trying to fix the errors i just uninstalled the program and reinstalled it. Now everything works fine. But I did not learn anything about what errors are or how to fix them which was the main thing I was trying to do. So this is now solved.
