I've been spending the past few days trying to get KDE2 from anoncvs to work on my 5.0-CURRENT machine, totally unsuccessfully. I can get it to compile and then run 'startx', but it appears to hang on the ksmserver process ... Will Andrews, who is working on the KDE2 ports, has the same thing running on his 4.1RC system, so I'm starting to wonder if the "bug" is in FreeBSD vs KDE2 ... >From what I've been able to determine, the 'hang' is in ksmserver, which is the last thing that 'startkde' runs. After it hangs, I've done a 'gcore' of the process, with the results showing the following: Script started on Sun Jul 23 01:19:11 2000 > gdb `which ksmserver` core.12615 GNU gdb 4.18 Copyright 1998 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
