[ale] KDE problems Rehat 9.0 upgrade

[mnmagee at earthlink.net (Matthew Magee)]

I found a solution to my problem!?? Sorry I 
didn't post it sooner, but I too have not been receiving my ale 
mail.
??
Apparently,??my problem??was caused by the 
Nvidia driver I installed.?? I reinstalled the driver, and all was 
well.?? KDE (of sorts) is back and running.?? 
??
Could this have been caused by the fact that the 
Nvidia driver was not installed as a RPM?

  Hi folks!
  ??
  I upgraded from RedHat 8.0 to 9.0 this morning, 
  and have run into a little problem.?? When I try to start a KDE session I 
  get:
  ??
  ??
  rm: cannot remove '.' or '..'
  rm: cannot remove '.' or '..'
  startkde?? starting up
  /usr/bin/startkde: line 227: 1147 segmentation 
  fault?????? ksplash
  /usr/bin/startkde: line 231: 1148 semnetation 
  fault?? LB_BIND.NOW=true kdeinit +kcminit +knotify
  startkde could not start kdeinit check your 
  configuration
  warning: connect () failed: no such file or 
  directory
  /usr.bin/startkde: line 248: 1150 segmentation 
  fault kwrapper kmserve $KDE_WM
  startkde: shutting down
  warning: connect () failed:??no such file or 
  directory
  error?? can't contact kdeinit
  startkde: running shutdown scripts
  startkde: done
  ??
  ??
  I wrote down the output quickly, so I am sure I 
  didn't get all the spaces and caps exactly right.
  ??
  This affects all users.?? Gnome works, but I 
  can't use any of my favorite KDE apps. :(
  ??
  Has anyone encountered this, or point me in the 
  right direction? 
  ??
  I am not really in the mood to reinstall, but I 
  always did before, and have had??no 
problems.
