OK..

I decided to try things myself to see what happens.

I signed in as another user, as su, deleted the .ICEauthority file, 
rebooted and signed in as myself.

KDE fired this time but I have had to re-customize my kde and 
re-establish other links to apps I have compiled from source not to 
mention having to re-position my desktop icons.

So now I have made a back up of .ICEauthority just in case.

For now, I need to understand what caused the corruption of this file in 
the first place.

"The swapping of flash sticks worked fine for three times but when I 
removed one the fourth time the "removable2" /dev hung first followed by 
anything I tried to do afterwards."

This comment I made above seems to be the culprit, so anyone with any 
suggestions?
