Not much to go on in there. I looked at my .xsession_errors log and there was mention of a DCOP problem. Don't know if it's normal or not. The .DCOP file in my $HOME directory was several KDE iterations old (probly from 2.1, I'm now using 3.0.2), I blew that away. I'll see if my problem goes away when I get home tonight...

Been thinking 'bout that. It's on "the list".
