KDE is working fine, and it's from *this* desktop that I'm sending this message.
Maybe gconf-sanity-check-2 has more info if you try running it. Run it with DISPLAY= so there's no X connection and it prints to
t>he command line.
You could also strace -o /tmp/output -f gconf-sanity-check-2 to see what goes wrong.
Can you guve me some dummy-leve instructions on how to do this? Essentially, I can now *read* the text in the error dialogs, but since I have neither desktop icons, nor the panel, I can't (read: don't know how to) access a console prompt. TKseti and licq load, because they are in my startup sessions...
Other than that, I would have to read each error message and write them down on paper, then login to KDE to post further info on this. N.B. The nVidia drivers are now installed, and I have almost all updates from rawhide installed. At the very least, the important ones like glibc, gnome-panel, and nautilus are installed....
Thanks,
Elton

Just do it from the console or from KDE.

They are all the same error I would guess.

Hi Elton,
(read: don't know how to) access a console prompt.
Ctrl-Alt-F1 through -F6 for a tty.
Bye, Leonard.
