I decided to install KDE4.
It starts up very slowly. But only the widgets and settings menus show
up. No startup programs bar, button, whatever shows up.
Leave buttons fail. I can only get out with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace.
I saw something to this on a Dell Latitude D630. I can't say as this is

If you start kde from the command line, run the commands manually like
this to see if kde starts ok.
sysctl kern.shminfo.shmall=51200
sysctl kern.shminfo.shmmni=1024
sysctl kern.maxfiles=20000
