I did not add udev-mount on 3 different machines, only one of which runs the 
full KDE enchilada.  That's the one that seems to be experiencing some 
problems lately - like printing causes the *printer* to crash.  Also 
occasionally the desktop will not load sitting there at the last login icon of 
kdm.

Perhaps I should add it and see if it makes a difference.
