using sidux:  Nov 2009  Linux 2.6.31-6.slh.2-sidux-686 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Nov
15 13:56:52 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

last apt-get update March 2010
last apt-get upgrade End of February 2010
For two weeks was netbook not rebootet because of using pm_suspend.

Stopping at third dot displayed of five while starting kde. Kde does not start.
After 5 to 10 minutes a window pops up with following text:

The following installation problem was detected while trying to start KDE:
No write access to '/home/username/.ICEauthority'.
KDE is unable to start.
(button for pressing ok)

checked in a terminal with
ls -la
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Mar 10 00:58 .ICEauthority

button ok pressed
A window pops up:
Could not start ksmserver. Check your Installation.
button okay pressed

back to login-screen

How to solve:

Changed with midnight commander (chmod, chown, chusr)

-rw-rw-r-- 1 root users 0 Mar 10 00:58 /home/username/.ICEauthority

Now it works again. Strange - file did not change date.   

Another thing - when i stopped kde with "init 1" and in a root terminal i type
"start x" kde hungs up with a screen for config of kde3 to kde4.
