I have a very serious (in my mind) and odd problem. I was trying to run an old program (soulride Jay_Peak) and when it went to full screen, everything locked up. I had no keyboard or mouse functions. I was unable to switch to a console. I performed a secure shell login from another machine and started killing processes of that user. Eventually the whole thing locked up hard and I was forced to perform the 0/1 test (reset). The machine came back up fine, until KDE login for the user that was attempting to run soulride. If I attempt to login to KDE I get one of two things, ksplash crashes or it hangs at the first step of KDE initialization (says something about "... interprocess communication" OWTTE). It will stay there for about 10 seconds and then crash. This only happens on one user out of 5 that are on this machine. I have tried deleting the .kde* and .DCOP* files/directories in this users home directory but still no luck. I have also renamed the .xinitrc file to bak.xinitrc but this had no affect either (not that I necessarily thought it would). Has this happened to anyone, and how do you fix it? Gnome also seems to be affected because this particular user cannot log into Gnome either. XFCE4 and FVWM work fine. All other users can log into any of the above mentioned desktop environments without issue. Any hints? Thanks, Darrell
