************

the boot before I had to turn to TTY (Ctrl Alt F1) and call a "reboot" as root because KDE whenever OpenOffice and Kdevellop are running and I logoff, I get problems (singal 11? maybe... don't put trust on this) and a windows pops up and asks me to close them. This time I did so and managed nothing ... thus I turned to TTY. Sorry for the extremly newbe-ish report (I'm not a programmer nor a fanatic;-).
Of course now I have no panel and have to work via the top menu I managed to restore

Any help apreciated,
