I was able to work around it by reinstalling Edgy from scratch. That tells me it's some kind of configuration issue or interaction between different pieces of software, not an inherent bug in KDE/kwin.
The only time I have to use the Ctl-Alt-Backspace to get everything started up is on an older laptop of mine. The newest nVidia drivers expect all nVidia chipsets to supply EDID information, which this laptop does not support. So X kind of drools on itself when it first starts up, but killing and restarting it, everything is fine. Hope you find a solution! -g.

I use standard Kubuntu Edgy, with skim. -- KDE rarely starts up completely https://launchpad.net/bugs/67237 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
