The segfaults come with the logout, after applications have been closed, but
the roport says it is an application segfault.... Then after I close the
report window the logout completes.
The freeze-ups come from doing too many things too quickly with an old, slow,
resource-poor rig. The rig is deliberately that way so the things I test
here I know will work for other users. The worst offender is netscape
followed closely by kmail (kde2 type) and the solution is ctrl-alt-backspac

Ummm--well, I cannot run kde1 any longer. When I try, I get kde2.

OK THIS ENTRY in /etc/X11/window-managers allows chksession to see it
NAME=kde2
ICON=kde.xpm
DESC=The REALLY fabulous desktop
EXEC=/opt/kde2/bin/startkde
SCRIPT:
source /opt/kde2/bin/kde2 ; exec /opt/kde2/bin/startkde
Now kdm shows it as an option
I also commented out the alias ckde2=.... line in the user's ~/.bashrc
KDE2 starts whether I pick kde or kde2--but at least it no longer starts when
I pick Gnome or Icewm... The little dragon is showing some signs of life,
even if he cannot get up yet.

It did show as a default--when I had not run
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mandrake_everytime after checking chksession and fndSession
repeatedly, and probably trashing the list. My modified version showed up...
so it seems to be used in exceptional circumstances, but from where?
I'll look again when I have some more time.
