By chance that is how I was running it when I had problems. (I really am a CLI guy at heart.) No diagnostics at all. And I looked in /var/log/*. Nothing there seemed relevant either. As to the level of lockup, within KDE I was able to alt-tab and bring up the list of icons, but most choices had no effect. OTOH, I was able to alt-tab to my konsole window and then I was interactive from there. So I don't think I had any kind of kernel issue. It seemed to be KDE itself that was blocking mouse clicks, etc. I don't remember trying to click on any of the Konsole tabs to see if that would work. And yes, once I killed the OO app I was golden, but simply typing "oocalc" at the command line, then clicking "file - save as" put me back under the bus.
