I recently installed YDL 2.3 (default developer package) on a G3-upgraded PowerCenter Pro. Everything seems fine, except that I can't reliably start KDE or Gnome. The machine freezes near the end of the initialization process, just before the desktop comes up. There's what looks like a very small CD icon pasted on the screen near the mouse pointer, then nothing responds. It doesn't seem to matter whether I use a graphical login, or text login followed by startx.
I do seem to be able to consistently start the desktop if I'm logged in as root, which I guess should be a significant clue. Otherwise, I've only had one success starting KDE from my regular user account, and I don't know what was different that time. Does anyone have an idea what is likely to be going wrong, here? I'm pretty technically capable, but I'm a newbie with this system, so I don't really know where to start.
