yup many times :-(

when I try kdm start it tells me that kdm is already running and ps -ef confirms that.

when I try kdm stop;kdm start the screen goes blank and the machine is
completely unresponsive for a _considerable_ time (this delay was
always there, even when kdm was working).  In kdm.log there is nothing amiss, but syslog reports:

there is no process 2115, so I cannot kill it.

Sorry to trouble you with this.
