I logged out of KDE and went to single user. I then used ps to list the processes and there was still a kdesu running. I killed it and a couple other left overs, then logged back in and everything is working again. It looks like KDE needs to do a little more clean up when logging out. I did clear some config files and cache files once before. I lost bookmarks somehow. I need to save those somewhere so I can restore them. ;-) Dale :-) :-)
