Subject: [kde-solaris] problem with KDE on Solaris Platform
Importance: High
 
Hi,
I use a Solaris (SunOS 5.6) Workstation. Right now I am using KDE 1.1 
I am facing two major problems : 
1.      KDE environment seems to hang sometimes when screensaver is used.
The reason being, when a screensaver is used kcmdisplay is spawning
k<screen_saver_name>.kss . But, after sometime, I can see more than one
kcmdisplay OR k<screen_saver_name>.kss processes when I do a 'ps -ef'. Due
to these extra processes, sometimes the KDE environment hangs. To bring it
to normal, I have to login to my machine from some other workstation/PC and
kill the additionally created (duplicate) processes. TO get rid of this
problem forever, I had stopped using screen savers completely. Now the
situation is pretty comfortable. Can you please let me know how can I
actually avoid this hanging problem ? Infact, everytime I have to lock my
workstation, I have to set the screen saver again from "Display Settings"
window. Otherwise the workstation either hangs OR doesn't respond to
keyboard/mouse after locking.
2.      All system messages are getting printed on the workstation desktop.
No difference in behaviour even if I have a KDE console always open. I never
had this problem while using the CDE enviornment.

I will be very thankful to you if you can help me in resolving these two
problems. 
Thanks in advance, 
Regards, 
- Madhukiran
