Since I don't have KDE installed, I don't know what files it might be running. Presumably, you have something like .kde, .kderc, or Desktop in your home directory. Does grep find anything about LD_LIBRARY_PATH in any of those? > Does this help? Well, ruling things out is helpful. I'm pretty much stumped, though. BTW, the lines in your .xsession-errors are output from your .bashrc being run by something that doesn't have a tty output. That's probably the initial sourcing at session start-up. -- Michael A.
