That smells to me a lot more like a problem with some client than with the server. I don't know enough about KDE to offer any specific advice, but I know that a *lot* of clients get started automagically when you log in. Is there any sort of log file that would hint what clients get started in what order? A startup script that starts them one by one? If so, you could do a binary search to isolate which one causes the hangup. -- Remember, more computing power was thrown away last week than existed in the world in 1982. -- http://www.tom.womack.net/computing/prices.html
