My RedHat 9 KDE 3.1-12 desktop has been failing to 
launch Konqueror and Kwrite. When I try to launch them 
from the command line, I get:
prompt> konqueror
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Maximum number of clients reached
konqueror: cannot connect to X server :0

This is a nice, fast machine with a full GB of memory. 
I was looking forward to keeping a lot of windows 
opened. 

When this last occurred, I counted 24 windows open 
under KDE (in eight desktops). Is this an excessive 
number (and therefore the reason for the problem) ?

If so, where is the maximum number of X clients set? 
Can it be changed short of recompiling?

If not, what troubleshooting steps do you recommend? Is 
there any kind of KDE error log?

Thanks in advance,

--John
