While opening KDE I started exiting programs and starting others before it was fully initialized and scrambled my GUI so badly that the only the mouse worked on screen0. Symptoms included -- on screen0 only screen1 totally unaffected; 1) Unable to get more than 1 virtual screen. 2) Crash when trying to change the backround. 3) No keyboard. 4) No window decorations. 5) Root and other users unaffected. I moved the .kde directory in my home directory and all references in /~ and /tmp. This cleared all my preferences and allowed me to fix the error. This allowed me to fix the error/bug/corruption. Is there a more direct less invasive way to effect repairs? -- jludwig <wralphie@xxxxxxxxxxx>
