Hey folks: I'm having problems even trying to find a name to this, so
maybe if you can point me to FAQs, or such I'd appreciate it.

After rebooting/turning on the system, programs refuse to run after a
few minutes or so.

An example:  If you use a file manager and click on say a .TXT file,
Kate is suppose to come up. For while it does, but then suddenly it
won't. The indicator rotates around and around for about a minute then
nothing happens.  The only way to look at the file, is manually
starting kate and use kate to load the file manually. The only way
I've found to solve this problem is either rebooting the entire
system, or sometimes you can re-start X but that doesn't solve the
problem all the time.

There is a couple of other possibly linked problems.

#1 Programs I install in WINE (like Dreamweaver) doesn't even show up
in the WINE menu, and the ONLY way to start them, is using a file
manager to manually click on the .EXE file (like dreamweaver.exe) I've
tried to run them via the command line, and it constently says 'file
not found'

#2 GIMP (w/GIMPShop) is a special case. When I first installed both,
they ran from the menu. Lately, it won't run from the menu. Instead
I've set up the menu entry by telling it to "Run in Terminal"

If I type 'gimp' at the command line, I get this before it starts:

kcred...@zeus:~$ gimp
/usr/local/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/print: error while loading shared
libraries: libgimpprint.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory

(gimp:12816): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: gimp: wire_read(): error

There is another thing that *might* be connected. At times when the
system starts/restarts, I get 'ksudo has no supplied arguments' or
something like that. (If you can give me a location to the logs I'll
be glad to post it here.)

I've looked around on google, and IXquick for things like 'programs
not starting Ubuntu' or similar, but can't find a thing.  Anyone hear
or experienced this problem?

My system:
nVidia GeForge 7300
1g memory
200, 350 SATA drives
80g PATA drive
Asus motherboard (would have to look up specs)
Kubuntu 8.04.01/KDE 3.5
