When Failsafe brings up a window I enter kde and I get the same old "bad font, likely due to a permissions problem" (paraphrased).

I've had a similar problem that was due to fiddling with permissions on directories - a directory must have the execute bit set in order to be openable. Perhaps one of your directories (e.g. the ~/.kde3 directory) has lost this setting?

I looked in /home/abc/.kde3 and all looks well. Correct Owner and Group. I poked around a bunch of other folders and all looks OK there as well. Is there a file that is referenced during the logon process (after I enter the password) that I might check for errors? Soemthing is picking up something from somewhere and inserting bad data, causing this problem yet again! It is really frustrating to have to waste time repairing what has already been fixed. Thanks! doc
