Some of the only issues I've run into with it "blowing up" on me have been related to the .DCOP and "socket" links when I do something out of the ordinary. I'd kind of prefer that these were deleted at start up (softlinks from .kde and .kde2 to /tmp/...) because while I can figure them out, I always look at Linux as an ALTERNATIVE to Windows, not just it's mysterious nemesis (ie. How would my parents feel if this happened?). Normally this behavior happens when I su to another user and start up some DCOP-oriented KDE app (which I'm not real impressed with). Other than that, I am KDE or CLI and have been since my start with OL2.2. I've used Gnome a bit, don't get me wrong. But I always have been more impressed with KDE, and particularly COL's versions of KDE (with integration of key system config apps into KControl)
