The mystery is partly solved now. Remember: The problem was that under
certain circumstances, KDE login was stalled on Tru64 machines. These
circumstances do not seem quite clear, however the final solution
was this. /usr/local/netscape/plugins contained this:
[101]root@montrose> ls -l /usr/local/netscape/plugins
total 192
-r-xr-xr-x 1 5115 10 57089 Jun 25 10:40 cpPack1.jar
-r-xr-xr-x 1 5115 10 57089 Mar 26 2001 cpPack1.jar.old
-r-xr-xr-x 1 5115 10 40960 Jun 25 10:40 libnullplugin.so
-r-xr-xr-x 1 5115 10 40960 Mar 26 2001 libnullplugin.so.old
and the solution was to delete the *.old files!! Apparently the plugin
scanner had some problems with the *.old files. Or it tried to load
the *.old files as well or whatever.
Can someone with more knowledge about that please check and fix this?
Below's a detailled analysis of what's happening.
Thanks // Tom

Dear Tom,

Very interesting - it works ok in this case... I'll send the two
logfiles as attachments, as this message may become unreadable otherwise!

Nothing appears to be consuming many resources (from "top" anyway). The
active kde processes are:
>ps ax|grep kde
23839 ?? I 0:00.02 sh /usr/local/kde221/bin/startkde.kde22 \

Sorry, we didn't have gdb installed (incredible as it may seem), but
here is hopefully the corresponding output from dbx:
(dbx) where
0 __wait4(0x3000b808498, 0x1400560a0, 0x17, 0x14005c700, 0x3ff800e1804) \

0x140054700) [0x30008807358]
Which is interesting, as netscape plugins are one of the things
complained about in the startkde log files.
This may be totally irrelevant, but here's the contents of the directory
"/usr/local/netscape/plugins":
[101]root@montrose> ls -l /usr/local/netscape/plugins
total 192
-r-xr-xr-x 1 5115 10 57089 Jun 25 10:40 cpPack1.jar

We do have netscape 4.78 installed (and 4.77 et al before that) rather
than using the Tru64-supplied version.

Indeed it does! We get right on to the Desktop Settings Wizard.
And here we *might* have a solution...
I deleted the *.old files from /usr/local/netscape/plugins directory.
The *.old plugins would have been from netscape 4.77, (they get renamed
to *.old by the netscape installer script).
Could it be that kde221 doesn't like trying to load two plugins which
have the same function (eg cpPack1.jar and cpPack1.jar.old)? Although I
suppose this makes no sense, since the logfile always says it fails to
load the plugins.
I'll attach the three logfiles as follows:
startkde_xterm.log is with .xsession starting an xterm, then running
startkde manually. The fatal error at the end is due to me ctrl-C-ing
the xterm rather than logging out normally, btw.
startkde_normal.log is with the regular .xsession and startkde
redirected to the logfile.
startkde_final.log is the same, after removing the *.old plugin files.
Although I think this may have solved the immediate problem here, I
don't know if it has exposed any underlying problem - does it make any
sense to you? Maybe the KDE developers might find something interesting
in it!
Thanks,
Graham
