 This all is basically just one problem, ksmserver doesn't proceed through all 
the startup phases in it. Can you try to debug the problem? It should be just 
going to ksmserver/startup.cpp and adding debug outputs in the various 
functions. The 'state' variable is the actual startup phase, and the flow of 
the startup sequence follows the order in the file (i.e. the functions at the 
top of the file are performed first and startup progresses to functions 
farther in the file). There seems to be a transition to another state missing 
somewhere, but I thought I added timeouts to the parts that could possibly go 
wrong, so I have no idea what the problem could be. Please try to find out 
where it stops and why.
