[opensuse-kde] KDE3 Session Manager crash

I thought I would start with a posting here to see what feedback I might get. I searched KDE bugs but did not find this particular issue and if the consensus here in this news group is that I should report this as a bug I will... I am running SuSE 10.3 and have been working for quite a while now trying to track down a problem that starts to occurs near the end of boot up and then occurring intermittently thereafter. The problem I am experiencing is freezes where the GUI becomes unresponsive for several minutes at a time, or it becomes extremely sluggish. This freeze always occurs near the end of booting up and each of the final steps will take several minutes to report that it as completed. As X becomes active and the KDE desktop comes up this process will take upwards of 15 minutes to complete. After a while the KDE desktop will become intermittently quite responsive for a bit, then will become quite unresponsive again for a bit... I have tried removing all services except those required by X11 without success, and am now going through log files to see what complaints are showing up there and trying to clean them up. I have looked at TOP and VMSTAT to see if I have a process taking up all the CPU time or am having swapping troubles. Again so far without success. I then decided to take a look at KDE itself to see what I might try and there I learned about a bunch of services that KDE is running and so I tried to stop them. This had no effect on this problem either. Next I found there is something called a Session Manager and when I tried to open it, it crashes! So I now suspect I should get that working to see if this may be the cause of my GUI unresponsiveness. The KDE Crash reporter gave me a walkback which I have included below. Any one got any ideas on what this means? Thanks in advance for any help offered and please remember I am NOT a Linux guru by any means... So if you have a suggestion for me to try, please don't use any advance terms or expect me to have a lot of detailed knowledge about Linux and its toolset... Marc Chamberlin Attached is the stack walkback from the crash when I tried to open the Session Manger found in Personal Settings -> KDE Components -> Session Manager Something that caught my eye in this walkback is that there are references to the ATI fglrx driver. I am using the ATI Radeon x1600 video card with the fglrx driver, could something be amiss with this driver?
