So, now you have found it is a fam related problem, it would be GREAT to know why it locks your computer.. How are you starting KDE ? Are you using a NFS-mounted home ? Have you more than one users logged on your system when KDE freezes ? Can you post the KDE startup log when it freezes ? To debug fam, try the following : as root : /etc/init.d/xinetd stop (disable standard fam support) fam -d -f 2>&1 | tee fam.log (will start fam in debug mode and start KDE to see why it freezes.. The KDE/fam freeze has been reported for a lot time and we have never been able to reproduce it in Mdk office and we really want to fix this thing since fam gives a boost to file monitoring performance..
