I have had and investigated both these phenomena for months, though not on your platform. I run FC4 in regular P4 boxes, two machines. The kicker crash on logout has been discussed widely on a couple of lists - far as I know, it's not resolved, but doesn't cause further problems. "Admin mode" on KDE Control Center not functioning is in KDE's bugzilla - as far as I know, currently it too is not resolved - for this there is a workaround. In /etc/rc.d/rc.local enter the following lines followed by a return: # Temporary workaround for dcop errors rm -Rf /var/tmp/kdecache-* This will have the effect of slightly extending the time of log-in operations, but should otherwise fix your Control Center problem, if it's the same issue. There's a long thread on the kde-redhat list about this entitled "dcop server" -- Claude Jones Bluemont, VA, USA
