However, I would like to know if anyone has seen this, and hopefully find out what's going on. I can consistently reproduce the problem under linux 2.6.38-3: every time I click the Apply button somewhere in the System Settings window of KDE, X restarts, and every time I try to log out of KDE, X is killed. I'm not sure where to submit a bug report though. Any help with this is greatly appreciated.
