xorg 1.12 - All Apps Work! Seems to be limited to Init of Desktop

Tim, All, I've started another thread as I think I have narrowed down the problem I'm having with TDE on xorg 1.12 to just the initializing of the TDE desktop. As a test, I launched all the TDE apps that I normally use in fluxbox running on xorg 1.12 -- they all work! Have a look: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/tde-in-flux.jpg So the tde failure on xorg 1.12 seems to be limited to the initialization process when the splash screen is running (ksplash maybe?). What I need is to identify what is running when the crash occurs to help narrow it down. I'm not familiar with the 'startup sequence' so it would help if somebody who know could chime in. The best I can describe the point at which the crash occurs is this: The splash screen gets to the 'hard drive icon' (Initializing system services) chugs away for a while and then crashes. I also notice that during this part of the startup, there is no background image shown as it was originally. Now only a light-blue desktop color is shown. Can somebody help fill in the list of potential processes running at this point so I can take a look? I can think of one to add: List of potential processes: ksplash What else is running at this point in time? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
