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.
