Actually, I found out what was wrong (for some reason I'm getting some huge deja vu while typing this... I must have asked this question before...)
I was installing stuff like xfce, but all I needed was the x-server-something package. Now I have xfce or something like that sneaking around my package list, but I plan to remove it today. Happily, now KDevelop, Umbrello, KOffice *and* KDE itself runs smoothly all at the same time (kicker doesn't even return 11 after the kill signal, something it did two installs ago and in Kubuntu) Thanks for your help - I would still be bouncing into walls trying to find the solution by now were it not for your help. -- === GCB v3.1 === GCS d-(+) s+:- a?
