I'm using SuSE 8.0 with KDE 3.0.2 updates installed. When I try to start KDE via "startx" the KDE initialisaion screen appears but after "system resources" have been initialized KDE crashes. I'm quite new to KDE - maybe somebody can give me a hint what might be wrong or how to interpret the following error messages (this also happens with KDE 3.0 and cleaning the /tmp directory also is of no use): DCOPServer up and running. DCOP Cleaning up dead connections. Mutex destroy failure: Device or resource busy mcop warning: user defined signal handler found for SIG_PIPE, overriding Mutex destroy failure: Device or resource busy Mutex destroy failure: Device or resource busy QObject::connect: No such slot KWrited::block_in(const char*,int) QObject::connect: (sender name: 'unnamed') QObject::connect: (receiver name: 'unnamed') /usr/lib/qt3/plugins/imageformats/libqjpeg.so: Feature JPEG already defined in /usr/lib/qt-3.0.3/plugins/imageformats/libqjpeg.so!
