I'm not sure how one relates to the other. Whatever this is, it has Konsole and Firefox in common that I know of. There are lots of programs that I have not even tried to run. I don't want to just lock up my system unless I think I have a fix. Hitting that reset button may just ruin a install and cause me all sorts of grief. I do know this, I ran into something like this before and it was either gcc or glibc. I'm pretty sure it was gcc. Since this has a history of fixing things, I may as well try that to. I may add that I did find where people were having problems with programs crashing when using the current glibc. It may not be related to my problem but we don't know that either. I just finished a emerge -e world and am going to see if KDE will run or lock up. I'm hoping but not holding my breath. Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
