Hi,<br>
I am running KDE 3.4.3 on PCLinuxOS. <br>
<br>
Whenever I login to KDE the first time after a fresh boot, the whole
desktop just stays there after loading the kicker panel. My
background image does not appear nor any of the other panels (KSim
etc.). I have to CTRL-BKSPC and login again and everything
goes smoothly. <br>
<br>
Now this problem persisted since ver 3.4.2. Nobody else in
PCLinuxOS forums / mailing lists has this problem. In fact only
my user id has this problem other users on my system do not have this
problem.<br>
<br>
Further investigating this "hanging" situation, I switched to a virtual
console when the "hanging" condition happens, and using top I can see
all my application has already started but its just not displayed on
the screen. This brings be to the notion that something is
preventing the login to complete.<br>
<br>
Now if someone can assist me in troubleshooting this I would be very
grateful. I want to know if there are any log file that records
what gets loaded or any error that are thrown.</blockquote><div><br>

/var/log/messages .....is the place to look for errors.<br>
