There also are 8 blue gear shaped icons in the panelwhich wont do anything when selected or clicked.
Sounds like your session has got messed up, so that it's infinitely filling upwith new programs to run.
First thing I would do it log in at the console, and look at your Xsessionlogs. You might find some error messages that point out the problem inthere.
Otherwise, you could try running a simple script like:

 while true; do pkill knotify; sleep 5s; done
at the console, and then logging, with that command looping at the console tokeep things under control. If you can figure out what the name of theprogram is that displays blue gear icons, you could also add a pkill commandfor that to the loop.
Another option is simply to delete that user's .kde folder, or the sessionfiles within that folder (if you can find them). Be careful if you have ANYimportant data in KDE, though.

Thanks, Lee, for your response. This reply took a while as gpm is notworking right-can select text from consolebut wont paste in vt7. The blue gear properties show that the filesdon't exist:

The file file:/usr/share/applnk/System/konsole.desktop does not exist
The file file:/usr/share/applnk/Help.desktop does not exist
The file file:/usr/share/applnk/Home.desktop does not exist

The file file:/usr/share/applnk/Office/kspread.desktop does not exist
The file file:/usr/share/applnk/Office/kpresenter.desktop does not exist

There are many errors in /home/lchata/.xsession-errors and some in/root/.xsession-errors. The root errors are

shown below and the home errors are in the attached file:

ChatagnierL-Home:/home/lchata# cat /root/.xsession-errors

The /home/lchata/xsession-errors file in the attached txt file is hughand you probably don't care to scan theentire document. However, its there, just in case. I've read bothfiles and don't know what to make of them or

what to do about it.  Would appreciate any guidance you care to give.

BTW, scanned man sh quickly as have never done scripts before and gaveit a try as follows:

bash "your simple script without the quotes" and got:
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `do'.
Thanks,
Leonard Chatagnier
