Hi,

I use kUbuntu because I prefer it and KDE has always seemed to have a 
smaller footprint than GNOME.   Did the user check the 
/var/log/Xorg.0.log file?   Was there any useful information in there?

Jay---we could all go back to "init 3" mode.   No icons.  No wallpaper. 
  Heck we wouldn't even need all those fancy monitors and graphic cards. 
  Just ssh/telnet/rsh/xterm access and CTL-ALT-F{num} keys.   How easy! 
  How cheap!!  (Joke from megan who used to work on monochrome screens 
and pre-full-screen editing.)
