[opensuse] very weird startx behavior
- From: Alex Angerhofer <alex@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Dear List,
as a long-time linux user I typically am able to solve most of my
linux-related problems on my own and with the help of google. However,
this is way over my head, and googling it did not open up any leads for
me.
I am running openSuSE 10.3 within vmware (latest version 6.0.3 build
80004) on my wife's vista ultimate (patched up-to-date) PC. The openSuSE
is up to date with the 2.6.22.17-0.1-default kernel. As additional
repositories I have packman and the "Main Update" as well as the various
kde3, gnome, videolan, and openoffice repositories selected.
Lately (unfortunately, I can't pinpoint when this behavior started exactly
and what had happened around that time) we have experienced problems when
starting up opensuse in the virtual machine: Every other boot the kde
desktop is messed up. Instead of the eight desktops we receive only one
and the frames on any window are non-existent. These problems can not be
corrected with the kde desktop configuration tool. The problem is
repeatable and shows up every second time the virtual machine is booted.
I have attached the startx logs for the alternating behaviors. What I
noticed in these are the following differences:
When kde fails to start up correctly there are several instances of the
following error message: `Could not find '' executable.' early on. There
are only three times the `KNotify::playTimeout' shows up early on vs. 10
times when kde comes up correctly. Finally, there are two XSMP errors
listed that are not severe enough to cancel starting up X. I am suspecting
that the XSMP errors are the ones I should follow up on but have no clue
as to where to even begin trouble shooting.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Alex.
