When throwing startkde, the process (splash) hangs during the initialisation of peripherals for many minutes. Afterwards, it process (almost) normally. After some investigations, it seems that commenting out the following two lines in 'startkde' solves my problem (maybe temporarily...): #KDE_FULL_SESSION=true #export KDE_FULL_SESSION I don't really understand why. ksmserver is hanging when these env var are set. sudo emerge info: Portage 2.0.54 (default-linux/amd64/2005.1, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r2, 2.6.9-gentoo-r12 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.9-gentoo-r12 x86_64 AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 242 Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14 ccache version 2.3 [disabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=opteron -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=opteron -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://pandemonium.tiscali.de/pub/gentoo/ http://pandemonium.tiscali.de/pub/gentoo/ http://mir.zyrianes.net/gentoo/ ftp://mir.zyrianes.net/gentoo/ ftp://194.117.143.70/mirrors/gentoo" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="en fr" MAKEOPTS="-j4" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X a52 aac aalib accessibility acl apache2 audiofile authdaemond avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts brltty bzip2 caps cdparanoia crypt cups curl dga djbfft dvb dvd dvdread edl eds emacs emboss encode esd exif expat fam fbcon ffmpeg flac font-server foomaticdb fortran fpx fusion gd gdbm ggi gif gimpprint glut gnokii gnome gnomedb gphoto2 graphviz gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile idea idn imagemagick imlib innodb irda jack java javamail jikes jpeg jpeg2k junit kde kdeenablefinal lcms libcaca libclamav libg++ libwww live lzw lzw-tiff mad matroska mdb mikmod mmap mng mozdevelop mozilla mozsvg mozxmlterm mp3 mpeg mysql nas ncurses network nls nptl nsplugin nvidia oav odbc ogg oggvorbis openexr opengl pam pcre pdflib perl pg-hier pg-intdatetime pg-vacuumdelay png portaudio postgres povray ppds python qt quicktime quotas rdesktop readline real rtc samba sasl scanner sdl slang slp sndfile speex spell sqlite ssl svg tcltk tcpd tetex tga theora threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode usb userlocales vorbis wifi winbind wmf xine xml xml2 xpm xprint xrandr xv xvid xvmc zlib linguas_en linguas_fr userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL
