Here is the output of "qdus", as well as a strace for three different
applications that exhibit this issue:
http://tinypaste.com/d4d1b2c1 (dolphin)
http://tinypaste.com/d2d9bc1c (konqueror)
http://tinypaste.com/35f50887 (ksysguard)
http://tinypaste.com/4761c6cb (qdbus)

If you need any more information, let me know.

Each of those seem to get stuck in the same place:

connect(21, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path=@"/tmp/fam-steve-"}, 110<unfinished
...>


So, seems to have something to with fam/gamin not responding

-- rex

I just ran "ps -aux | grep gam" and the result was this:
"steve 1918 0.0 0.0 14028 1132 ? S Dec23 0:00 /usr/libexec/gam_server"

I thought, Hmm, December 23rd was two days ago. So, I ran "kill 1918" and guess what happened? Immediately, Amarok and Ksysguard (which I had recently attempted to start) opened up... I have a feeling that if I had recently made failed attempts at starting Dolphin and Konqueror, that they would have opened up as well.

All of this opens up a few new questions, but at least I know how to get around the issue of non-starting KDE apps. We now know that it definitely has something to do with "gam_server" We just don't know WHY it is behaving this way.
