Um, no. The bug everyone is having is a deadlock at kdesktop start. While
various methods of restarting tdm may or may not help depending on unknown
factors (Slavek have not yet found why the lock is happening in the first
place), killall -9 kdesktop should work in 100% cases (It should get you a
working kicker without desktop functionality). If in your case killing
kdesktop doesnt work it means it hangs in a completely different place.
