First of all, thank you for taking the time to get back to me. I did some
looking through the list of existing bugs and did not find anything that
matched my particular issue.

I added a clean user account as per your suggestion. KWin crashes (and
causes signal 11 SIGSEGV) before KDE hangs. I think this may have something
to do with the way the I created my user, since I had to manually create the
home directory, and change ownership to the new user. I'm sure I m missing
additional steps here.

I tried starting X as root. I seem to get a little bit further the way. The
splash screen disappears and I can get a click in on the K menu button
before the GUI hangs. The K menu does not display, but the button "lights
up", then nothing. My pointer remains responsive, but I can not click on
anything. I am also unable to kill the X-Server w/ CTRL-ALT-BKSPC. Is there
a logfile that I can attach to shed some light on the subject?

My Issue may be related to the audio subsystem (I think the system hangs
when the startup sound is played):
Error message shows up as:

Phonon
> The audio playback device Intel 82801CA-ICH3 with YMF753 (Intel
> 82801CA-ICH3) does not...(goes off screen)
> Falling back to Intel 82801CA-ICH3 with YMF753 (Intel 82801CA-ICH3).

My system is a Toshiba 5205-S503 Notebook, and has no proper BIOS, so I can
not disable the sound. Is there a way to disable the sound by CLI?

I am also willing to accept that I have hosed my Kubuntu install somehow, so
if you think that this is an isolated incident and I need to wipe it and
reinstall, please let me know.

Thanks,
Jim
