Well I've narrowed this down somewhat. Extensive disk access seems to be part of the cause (I've been doing development work that involved copying large amounts of data around my drive), and it's not all kioslaves that die, as outgoing smtp seems to stay up even when http, pop, etc have died. They don't die when running gnome rather than the kde desktop though. It's very reproduceable, but as this is my work box, I haven't had time to isolate it very far. > X (4.2.0) also shows a significant number of visual artifacts.

Not managed to fix that one though. :( -- "Understanding is a three-edged sword." - Kosh to Talia Winters in Babylon 5:"Deathwalker" <<------------------------------------------------------------------>> << This email is monitored by the US government under the auspice >> << of the USA act.
