The entire system latches up tight, even the ssh remote shells and console.

I start X(kde) with startx. I followed the guides in
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/list.xml
Code Listing 2.4: Configuring your local session
$ echo "exec startkde" > ~/.xinitrc
X/kde runs fine, but when I exit it now, the system latches up, tight
all ssh sessions, the console, everything.

Interesting idea however this laptop does not have this key "SysReq/PrtScr".

Hmm, I do not think you understand, when I exit X/kde the entire system is
latched up tight. None of the keys work, nothing is echoed to the screen,
the system is latched up tight. All I can do is power cycle the system.
When I do that the screen fades and the mouse cursor is visible but slowly
fades to a solid white screen. The system hangs at the very moment I use
the logout button in kde, to exit the system.
Very strange and very repeatable.....
maybe emerge --emptytree world?
revdep-rebuild -p is fine.
I am clueless how to fix this... ideas?
