Hi Alexandre,

A couple of odd behaviours that have me puzzeled apart from the one I 
mentioned earlier, Dolphin and three instances of Gkrellm opening on 
startup.

That happened again this afternoon when I booted up.   The spell checker 
doesn't appear to work in Kmail composer.  The error message I get when 
I try to spellcheck manually is that ISpell/Aspell could not be started 
and to check path ?

The other issue is that all desktop icons and menu items cease to work. 
In short the desktop becomes unresponsive and attempting to logout 
fails with a hung screen although the mouse and keyboard still works.

A forced re-boot is required at this point.

HTH
