I was fiddling around a bit more with this, and have found a solution of sorts. I created a new user, and when I logged in, the disk access problem did not occur. So, I removed the ~/.kde folder for existing users, and this too solved the problem. This means I lost most of my settings, but the disk access problem is gone. There must be some setting in 3.0 that causes the disk access problem with 3.1. I am not sure how to figure out what setting that might be, though... Bruce-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Bruce, I asked the same question a couple of months ago and someone responded to me (I am using XFS) saying that with reiser it was happening to people who had noatime set on the partition. It's not an "ICE" problem as far as I can tell, but it sure is annoying. It happened to me when I upgraded to 3.1 from 3.0. It's been doing it ever since and I've given up trying to figure out why. Maybe someone out there has a fix? I'll sure be glad to help get rid of the problem again... Now that I've said all that. lemme go check on the ICE thing.....

Fix the program If I check again in a couple of minutes, the last line will be repeated a few more times (seems to be about one new line every 30 seconds or so is added to the file). I googled the last line and couldn't find anything that gave any hints to me. The only other thing I can think of is that I reinstalled my truetype fonts using the kcontrol modul; I think that it may have been after this that the constant disk access started.

Does this file keepgrowing? Perhaps there's a daemon running wild and spewing out error messages (e.g. artsd or whatever).- -- Corey Kovacs "I know not with what weapons World War III Computer Science will be fought, but World War IV will be DePauw University. fought with sticks and stones." 765.658.4761 - Albert Einstein -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+LCVsglw65kKkYY4RApxtAJ0dua1364/hHGhdBE5A1ynAuuWzKwCgqBMb HvELYT/ZWQH0jT8iW+dq9oI= =SBA/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
