I think I know why now I have the development version started and everything runs fine. I then start up a new session (the release) version. The script startkde had the rm -f $HOME/.ICEauthority and .DCOPserver which removed the files that the development version needs. Trying to launch Konqy I got an ICE Authority error and I believe that the launcher doesn't give up it keeps trying to connect. Commenting out the rm -f lines in my release copy fixes the problem. Thanks for the advice. I apologize for the length of original post....
