KDE 3.3.0 blocks the kernel in many ways. When run for the first time after a reboot it works, for the second time it works but the computer is blocked when we try to leave kde. We use openafs but even if openafs is stopped and pam_afs removed the problem appears. However with openafs running the problem is more rich, before the computer is frozen pam_afs and ps block already for instance. The system worked correctly with kde 3.1.x and 3.2.x. kernel 2.4.22-openmosix-r3 openafs 1.2.10-r1 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. startx and leave kde 2. startx and leave kde 3.

i doubt we'll be able to fix this - this is most definitely a local problem. are you sure it's kde and not the x server?
it is not problem with openmosix? please try other kernel. (gentoo-dev-2.6.8)
don't see anything we can do here
