Both xorg and kde-base have been re-compiled. OK since nobody seems willing to give me ideas on how to track this problem down, I have written a short (ugly) bash script to kill of the xrdb process. It works when I ssh into the hung machine and execute it. I thought I could just add the script to the .bash_profile file but it does not seem to ever sources that file so I need a more clever way to lauch the 'xrdbkill' script after I initiate a login.... Any ideas on the best way to trigger this script? The .bash_profile file does not get accessed. James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
