This has been happening again.  After working in Quanta for a while, 
editing files, etc. I ran the link checker plugin.  After trying to fix 
some broken links, Quanta froze, and I had to close it via the close 
button.  Now it won't start again.

Following your suggestion, I looked in /tmp and found many .tmp files
under /tmp/kde-friendly/quanta:

# cd /tmp
euclid: /tmp # ll -t

drwxr-xr-x 2 friendly staff 780 2009-08-24 17:19 quanta
euclid: /tmp/kde-friendly # rm -rf quanta/

OK, so I removed them all, but I still have the same problem ---

If I try to start Quanta from konsole or xterm, nothing happens -- no 
errors reported, just sits there until ^C

OK, so I check whether there are any Quanta processes running (yes) and
kill them:
euclid: /tmp/kde-friendly # ps aux |grep quanta
friendly 18170  0.0  1.6  40852 17592 ?        S    Aug24   0:00 quanta
friendly 23093  0.0  1.6  40848 17584 ?        S    09:20   0:00 quanta
root     23269  0.0  0.0   2052   636 pts/1    R+   09:39   0:00 grep 
--color=auto quanta
euclid: /tmp/kde-friendly # kill 18170
euclid: /tmp/kde-friendly # kill 23093

But still no joy in Mudville.  Mighty Quanta still strikes out.
Same, even if I logout of my session and restart.

Any ideas on how to resolve this?
