It's not actually hanging, it's loading twm, X's extremely lame default window manager. Try clicking and holding mouse buttons when this happens. If it's twm, you should see menus pop up, so you can start xterms, logout, etc. Logout, then go to kdm's menu and select a KDE session type before logging in again. Doug
