I checked more yesterday night, but without any usable result: @JamesWilson It is not affected by any language setting. Also happens when saving without any changes made. @Rinse Started kcmshell and I get some error code concerning the X server. This seems to be a minor problem, as other programs produce similar messages, but work perfectly. I have seen that Suse 8.2 uses the /tmp directory for saving settings.

The system crashes after I do something with loading/saving the window design in the configuration manager. It looks more like an endless loop as the HD never stops operating. I will investigate and tell more tomorrow. But any idea is helpful Christoph

KDE 3.1.1 crashes after configuration is saved. Hello friends, When I saved the actual configuration of the desktop under a certain name, KDE never gets back to a normal operation. Even the start window does not appear again. I see the harddisks operating, sometimes icons appear and disappear, and this is still the case after one hour or so. After stopping the X-server by CTRL-ALT-RET the Login Window appears or even not. Sometimes I get messages like : contact the developer ... Logging in as a ...
