OK the KDE Konsole is still dying. I checked top and ps and dialog was
not running. Infact the processor showed 98.6% idle. Why would the
konsole be dieing?
the Konsole doesn't "crash" it just won't accept input. I can click
the button and open a new session that is normal for a variable time.
When this happens, the up arrow, instead of going back through bash
history, scrolls up the page like shift + PageUp. It may relate to
changing the size of the window? I can't repeat this at will, though.
A reboot, for another reason,hasn't straightened out this. The only
major changes have been to cups and related apps. I've had cupsd.conf
pretty messed up over the last 2 days but it appears to be OK now.
