I ran apt-get update today, saw lots of updated packages, and
installed/upgraded these: bsh bug-buddy enscript exim4 exim4-base
exim4-config exim4-daemon-light file-roller gconf2 gconf2-common
gnome-about gnome-desktop-data gnome-menus kamera kcoloredit kdegraphics
kdegraphics-kfile-plugins kdvi kfax kfaxview kgamma kghostview kiconedit
kmrml kolourpaint kooka kpdf kpovmodeler kruler ksnapshot ksvg kuickshow
kview kviewshell libelf1 libgconf2-4 libgdchart-gd2-noxpm
libgnome-desktop-2 libgnome-menu2 libkscan1 libopencdk10 libruby1.8
libxosd2 python-gmenu ruby1.8 smartmontools whois


I was hoping my issue would be fixed. Nope! Is there a way to strace
startkde? I think strace startx only tracks startx and not startkde. I
think startkde is the suspect we need to look at.
