changes the menues, which gets noticed by FAM, which starts
kbuildsycoca, which results in konqueror freezing until KDE sorts out

The disks I used were from sarge iso images I got during the compromise. I
also got some more a few days ago and tried them. Same problem. All
checksums are fine. No rootkits that I can find. The system is not on a
network. (Only t

Every time I perform a keypress at the console (command line, nano, etc.) I
