Bug#310637: kde does not start

[rick bradshaw <bradshaw@mcs.anl.gov>]

I retested after blowing away my .kde* and .qt* files/dirs. Now when
try startkde it stops at the following

startkde: Running kpersonalizer...
+ dcopserver
+ kwin --lock
+ kpersonalizer --before-session


then it hangs. Could it be something with locking? because now the
defunct process I see is

bradshaw   27531   0.0  2.1  21872 10916  pts/0  D     09:40  0:00  kwin --lock 

thanks for the suggestions
Rick
