Further to my earlier problem. Nescape and Star Office are now going, but as root. Any attempt to start Netscape as user hangs the maching, StarOffice refuses to start. Does this log make sense to anyone ?........the startx log icker: WARNING: KDE detected X Error: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) 9 Major opcode: 14 QGList::locate: Index -1 out of

Background - Upgraded to vanilla 2.4.3. to gain some ISDN features. Everything went ok. Unfortunately we had a problem with /etc/rc.config -we corrupted this and had to reboot with /etc/rc.config.old.
Upshot is -kernel 2.4.3 boots ok, kde started ok and kde apps are working ok. Attempts to start Netscape of Star Office fail. Attempts to start these can cause a lock up. If I try to change the text colour in konqueror, the change is not accepted. I tried to overcome these by upgrading to kde 2.1.1 and followed with XF86 4.0.3. Still kernel is working well, with no serious error messages. Kde boots ok. But problems with Netsape and Star Office prevail.
I am reluctant to reinstall as it is a good up to date kernel. But there are some problems.
