Can you log into other users OK? If so then it is likely you can fix it by deleting any file in your home directory which starts with ~/.DCOP (do not worry a new one will be created next time you log in) It is also possible that one of your KDE setup files is causing the problem. If you rename your ~/.kde directory then a new one will be created next time you log in. If that fixes it you can start copying config files from the old directory back to the new until you find the culprit. Maybe it is too soon to say, but my impression is that Mandrake 9.0/KDE3.0.4 is more robust and does not suffer from these occasional glitches. (Just in case you were wondering how you were going to examine and delete these files when you cannot log into KDE. The answer is you can log in with a different Window Manager such as IceWM, or hit Ctl+Alt+F2 for a console login.) derek
