To misquote the movie "it's baaack!" ;-( I just completely reloaded Suse 9.1 over the weekend and all was well and now once again the user account suddenly cannot directly log into KDE but forces me into Failsafe. A Bash window pops up and I have to enter "kde" and then I see multiple error messages (see below). The only thing I can recall loading of any consequence is Yahoo Messenger and Mozilla 1.8a2. The most recent change was Yahoo. I went in and changed the permissions on ymessenger, .kde, .mozilla, to my username where it wasn't set that way ... no change.
