All, I've suddenly lost kde.... It won't start anything and the only error I get is a core dump. It happened when I upgraded to the latest 3.1 kdm kcontrol nothing will start. But if I switch (and I did ) to gdm ...everything but kde runs. So I removed all of kde... all of qt all the dot files ... and still the same thing. No errors just a core dump.
Next I tried to start it from a command line (kcontrol) I get possible errors. Well they are errors just that it's possible they may indicate something. Xlib: extension "RENDER" missing on display ":0.0". DCOP aborting call from 'anonymous-12856' to 'kcontrol' ERROR: KUniqueApplication: DCOP communication error! Now the Xlib error should indicate that I don't have font aliasing working.... ok... it works elsewhere but for the moment ok.... and shouldn't stop it. The second one seems to indicate that DCOP doesn't work... When I carefully and completely removed kde all libs and qt that should have been gone. Then a new install of kdebase should have restored it.... The question is ... any ideas where else to look? I'm not good at core dumps so I don't get much out of it.... James
