Rebooted three times now into 4.6.2-1 and every time kde4d runs and runs and runs until I kill it manually.

Searched this forum for kde4d but no joy, hence this thread.

have you some wacom tablet ? kcm related ?
i had the same issue with wacom xserver package installed
i got even someproblem with synatic too


sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-input-synaptics xserver-xorg-input-wacom

to me has solved the problem

No wacom but synaptic. This happens on a Thinkpad T61 under 4.6.2-1 but not with 4.6.1

nowardev, I see you are running Kubuntu - which version KDE have you got?

4.6.2

Wow, Kubuntu was quick

I have since hit upon another snag, the keyboard switcher stopped working on an application or window basis Bug report pending...

it's natty a beta release, here it *seems* it's everything working

I would suggest making sure all KDE packages, particularly those relating to ntrack, are up to date.

That was it, thanks bcooksley - I had a specialised booting routine and messed things up. All in order now.
