I want to thank everyone who gave me advice about this problem... turns out it was not KDE after all. While going through the debian-kde archive I noticed the neat little trick to turn off all those KIconLoader warnings and once I did that I was left with "the App so and so is crashing" and a whole bunch of XLib warnings about GLX not being installed.
Well, wouldn't you know it, the GLX module had been commented out of my XF86Config-4 file. Once I uncommented it, everything worked like a charm. So... mystery solved... although I still wonder why KDE would care about the GLX module, and more interestingly, only while exiting. -Sean -- Sean Kellogg 2nd Year - UW Law School c: 206.498.8207 e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] w: http://www.livejournal.com/users/economyguy/ <-- lazy mans blog "When the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to treat everything as if it were a nail." -- Abraham Maslow
