One thing that *might* be causing the problems is mixing the gnome panel and kde GUI. The KDE panel is called 'kicker'. A good solution might be to log into a failsafe session, and start kde by hand. First start the window manager (type: "kwin &"), then the desktop "kdesktop &", and finally the panel "kicker &". Doing this will stop the autospawn behaviour you're seeing and you might be able to trace the problem further as you'll see any error messages printed. Good luck... Tim
