There also are 8 blue gear shaped icons in the panel
which wont do anything when selected or clicked.
Sounds like your session has got messed up, so that it's infinitely filling up
with new programs to run.
First thing I would do it log in at the console, and look at your Xsession
logs. You might find some error messages that point out the problem in
there.
Otherwise, you could try running a simple script like:
while true; do pkill knotify; sleep 5s; done
at the console, and then logging, with that command looping at the console to
keep things under control. If you can figure out what the name of the
program is that displays blue gear icons, you could also add a pkill command
for that to the loop.
Another option is simply to delete that user's .kde folder, or the session
files within that folder (if you can find them). Be careful if you have ANY
important data in KDE, though.
Thanks, Lee, for your response. This reply took a while as gpm is not
working right-can select text from console
but wont paste in vt7. The blue gear properties show that the files
don't exist:
The file file:/usr/share/applnk/System/konsole.desktop does not exist
The file file:/usr/share/applnk/Help.desktop does not exist
The file file:/usr/share/applnk/Home.desktop does not exist

There are many errors in /home/lchata/.xsession-errors and some in
/root/.xsession-errors. The root errors are
shown below and the home errors are in the attached file:
ChatagnierL-Home:/home/lchata# cat /root/.xsession-errors

The /home/lchata/xsession-errors file in the attached txt file is hugh
and you probably don't care to scan the
entire document. However, its there, just in case. I've read both
files and don't know what to make of them or
what to do about it. Would appreciate any guidance you care to give.
BTW, scanned man sh quickly as have never done scripts before and gave
it a try as follows:
bash "your simple script without the quotes" and got:
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `do'.
Thanks,
Leonard Chatagnier
