[Steve King <steveoldmanse-launchpad@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It just happened a third time, so a lot more frequent today.

This time I had a wee play. The screen I get sent to is tty2. On tty7 it
has a few lines that say "unable to write bytes: Broken Pipe". On tty8
(which is where KDE usually is), there is nothing.

I stopped kdm. I tried to start it again, but no luck. However, ps -ef |
grep -i kdm showed one process (other than the grep itself). I stopped
kdm again and that process went away. There are no processes containing
the string kde. There is just one containing an x, which was ata-aux.

This time the system did not freeze up - it seemed as if I could have
stayed on the command line for as long as I wanted.

Anyway must post this before KDE goes again. Let me know what additional
info I can supply. This bug is making Kubuntu all but unusable today -
not so bad previously.
