Why my KDE is so weak

[Lian Liming <lianliming@realss.com>]

Hi all,
     I am using debian ustable with kde 3.3. I wonder why my kde is so 
weak. It oftern crashes.

     I am not curious to know the reasons why my kde often crashes. I 
just want to know when meeting such problems, how can i analyze the 
problem. I am not familiar with the log system on Linux. When system 
crashed, there should be some records on some log files. So which files 
should i pay attention to?

    Or is there any suggestions on how newbie will do when meeting a 
system crash? I think the method to find the reason is more important 
than knowing the reason of crashing.

    Any help will be appreciated.
