KDE crashing my X-session
Where do I look for a log or hint on what is happening to my X-session.
I have 2 users on this system that normally stay logged in forever, my, and my
wife.
I am running Debian Etch, KDE interface. What started happening a while back
is, when my wife switches to her login ( CTRL-ALT-F8) it would crash the
Xsession, and restart NVIDIA for MY login. She switches from my login (A) to
hers (B), then the NVIDIA splash screen comes up, and she is back to a login
with my username populated. Yet she is still logged in as her (B). As a test,
I just started a new session for ME ( A) using XFCE desktop manager. I then
switched to her login ( CTRL-ALT-F8), then switched back to me ( A)
CTRL-ALT-F7. all is working.
I did a
ps -ef|grep kde
and noticed some KDE processes still owned by me:
pbc 31881 1 0 09:19 ? 00:00:00 kdeinit Running...
pbc 31884 1 0 09:19 ? 00:00:00 dcopserver [kdeinit] --n
pbc 31886 31881 0 09:19 ? 00:00:00 klauncher [kdeinit]

pbc 31892 1 0 09:19 ? 00:00:00 knotify [kdeinit]
$ who -uT
pbc ? :0 2008-05-02 09:16 ? 31689
cilla ? :1 2008-05-02 05:59 ? 31297
pbc + pts/0 2008-05-02 09:18 . 31829 (:0.0)
I don't mind using xfce, if I could run kontact, since I am used to kontact
under KDE. Really all I want is kmail * RSS feeds, and I see that Liferea
works and imported my akregator feeds..
I guess my question is, is there something I can look at in KDE to figure out
why it crashes when switching users that both run KDE ??
here is my xorg.conf:
