Everytime i try to start KDE, it always fails and when i check the logs, i see this msg

segmentation fault

several times throughout the entire boot-log.

How can i solve this so i can access KDE again?

Do you get any errors when booting to other DEs?

Yeah. When i boot into GNOME, no error msgs or anything but my desktop is totally non-functional. The toolbars all work fine but the desktop is just a dark blue color. No wallpaper, no icons.

That sounds pretty weird! I would think there is a misconfiguration somewhere with either your video card or your monitor. Did you fiddle with any of those settings just prior to the problems occurring?

Strange indeed??? did you dig through /var/log/messages and /var/log/XFree86.0.log anything of note in there?

I'm sure this is an older bonobo bug where the pkg is installed wrong or corrupt. HOwever it doesn't explain your segfault error as far as I know.

what distro is this? if debian go to synaptic and see if you have any broken pkgs if rpm I think you can do a rpm -v pkgname or something... redhat gurus please help.
