Thanks for the help, so far. I spent a lot of Sunday evening trying to locate executables/libraries which still invoke kdeinit4 and qdbus. To no avail. Next bright idea: why don't I emerge these two binaries again? This will surely help me locate the offending binaries, and even if it doesn't, might get my X working again as a workaround. > qdbus comes from qtdbus, it was pulled in by KDE way back when. I've emerged qtdbus, and the "qdbus" error message has gone. But I can't for the life of me locate the package containing kdeinit4. I've looked through /usr/portage/kde-base/, but can't identify the KDE base package I need. equery only works on already emerged packages.

Sadly, it didn't help get xfce running. I seem to have a hard segfault in xfce4-session. That's after purging xfce and re-emerging, too. That's two weekends I've been without X. I don't know what I'm going to do, right now. Might even try KDE, just to get some sort of working X. :-( > -- > Alan McKinnon > alan.mckin...@gmail.com -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).

You could do worse, but you could also try Fluxbox, which is very simple & configurable & works with KDE & other apps. I start X with 'startx' & have in ~/.xinitrc xscreensaver & kdeinit & startfluxbox -- ,, SUPPORT ___//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT`-O--O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
