Xorg-logfile has no errors. I have recompiled libtool gtk+ qt motif pango kdelibs kdebase kdeadmin kdenetwork with safe CFLAGS=-march=pentium4 -O2 pipe fomit-frame-pointer. The result is the same. I read similar problem in KDE bug-repport, but havent found a solution. Btw, during kdelibs compilation I saw errors something like this: Error: libgd was not build with Freetype font support: Helvetica in . Error: Unexpected tag class found I have installed all actual libraries and fonts, and see no solution. Has someone such problem and how found the solution? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. startx 2. 3.

The errors about QPixmap are not relevant, so the problem must be somewhere else, and if you say gnome hangs too, it must be at a lower level. We cannot help much with the provided information, please try to do do some more debugging (try with a newly created user for instance, try with other window managers, use the forums...)
Not sure how to fix.
