The things I suggested were the actions I would take if I could not log into KDE at all. Your symptoms are different in that you can log in the first time, but not a second.
But as I said. Deleting the .DCOP files in your home will do no harm since they just get recreated. You do not have to worry about the ones in /tmp, they get deleted automatically if they have not been used for 60 days. Other files that can cause 'funnies' during logon are ~/.ICE-authority and ~./MCOP-random-seed These also get recreated when you log in, but if you are nervous you can always just rename them. derek On Sunday 01 Dec 2002 1:01 am, Chris wrote: > On Saturday 30 November 2002 06:33 pm, you said, and I quote: > > On Saturday 30 Nov 2002 11:28 pm, Chris wrote: > > > Not sure how or when then began to happen or even what the heck I did, > > > but heres whats going on.
