Hello,

sometimes kde or x just hangs.... I can not even kill any kde programme after 
it happens. I am able to kill X by doing a "ctrl-alt-backspace", but after 
that, X doesn't restart - even if I change the runlevel from 5 to 3 and then 
to 5 again. After reinitialising runlevel 5, X simply won't start... 

If I try to restart the machine it hangs while trying to kill any programme 
started in the X-Shells...

Also I can no more start any programme from within an X-Shell (xterm for 
instance). The TTY still works properly... But as I said killing the 
programmes that got stuck won't work, no matter where I apply the kill 
command.

After all the proceedings kopete, kicker, amarok and all the X programmes 
still run (at least their processnumber gets listed on ps -a or top... But 
they don't actually do anything (they don't act or react anymore)).

What can I do?

For now I will just update every rpm-package I installed.

Maybe that helps...

Any other suggestions?

Help is very much appreciated!

PS: I am not able to provide you with any debug output, since I haven't seen 
anything suspicious. I will try to check out more on the next failure
