I ditched kde on my system for the same reason, I think you will find it is a kde problem, as I switched to gnome and had none of these problems, I have since removed all traces of kde, except kdm and kruler, and haven't missed it at all. I have also ditched gnome but that is a different matter. > >editors, will freeze when I click the Open button or Open on the File > >menu. When one text editor doesn't work, none of them will work.

I believe these are the same problem, as konqueror is used for all file management, so opening file options then call konqueror, or a segment of it which then crashes, rendering all your applications unable to open files, bit of a pain that. If you want to keep kde without having to ctrl-alt-backspace all the time, you might want to go through konqueror and turn off anything that is not file system related (being a browser) I found this helped a bit, but not enough to keep it. > Also, a lot of > >time when I try to run an application, it will start loading, then > >just stop and disappear from the task bar, without giving me any kind > >of message. I think you will find your problems go away with kde, and I had the same problem with konqueror. If you are looking for a good lightweight browser try phoenix <http://texturizer.net/phoenix/index.html> should give you any information you might want.
