Nothing was to be seen after the krash of kdesud. No symbols either in my 
version I guess. So plain dead.

As to konqueror and kmail, do you have the machine running under X 
consequently for about 5to10 hours with both kmail and konqueror running then 
you have this real slowdown (I have a kt-133 with a duron 800 with 128mb 
pc-133). It is sooo slow it takes about 30 sec to switch to a console via 
alt-ctrl fx. Once you restarted kde everything is fine again. So I suspect it 
to be a memory problem, something seem to eat all the memory, that would also 
fit into the machine starting to swap while switching between konqueror 
windows, running nothing else despite kmail.

Greetings

Michael
