Seriuos stability problem using KDE apps

[Jack Malmostoso <jackmalmostoso@freesurf.ch>]

Hi there list,

I've had this problem for some time now, but I think I have figured out
why this happens.

I have an iBook G4 on Sid, 2.6.9 custom kernel (but that is not important,
it happens with any kernel) and I am a Gnome user. I used to experience
some "sudden" problems in audio, stability of some apps (especially the
less "stable", as gdesklets or gnome-applets) and even some bad bad errors
while compiling (gcc segfaults, assembler errors, gcc errors). In a word,
system becomes unusable and only cure is a reboot.

Now I think that this happens when I use a KDE application (namely, K3B,
as it is the only one I use): I start it and it works quite badly (I/O
errors, badly written CDs and so on), and after this the sound starts
going bananas, the aforementioned errors start appearing until I am forced
to reboot.

Has anyone else ever experienced such problems? Thanks for any advice.
