Remeber, we are talking about a kde upgrade, so groups, permissions, etc should not be changed. emilio I know, I just thought that maybe for some weird reason it had changed your groups settings. I personally don't use kde since I'm on an old 2Ghz Pentium 4 with 256Mb of RAM... LXDE ftw! Marcus

I would look at all of the ".*" folders in your home directory and see if they are all writable by you. This was likely caused by you trying out startx while in a root non-login terminal, which used "su" to get into. I did this once with firefox, and it caused it to fail silently when I tried to start it. further 4 - I cannot mount a partition (both from command line and from desktop) the answer is "Only root can mount a device" (all permissions are the same as before) I would check out "groups " and see whether you are a member of the plugdev group. 5 - I am not able to become root (both in konsole and term) the answer is "Authentication failed" (consolekit is merged) Wheel group for this one.
