Try cat `which startkde` to show a list of commands that is executed.
Then, run them one by one and see which one gives the seg fault.

Just making sure -did you use the KDE binaries built specifically
for RedHat 5? Also, QT provides no such binaries, so to run QT on
RedHat 5 you have to download the QT source (source RPM or .tgz) and
compile it yourself.

I have downloaded the rpm's for RH5 from Troll Tech some weeks ago,
source/binaries and developer files. They are named
qt-1.33-1rh5.i386.rpm and so on.

If you have a look at some of the mirrors of www.kde.org; they provide (at least
for glibc) a compiled version of Qt along with the KDE RPMs.

I installed kde beta 4 after installing the qt bianries from troll tech.The binary is fine
undre RH5 and you don't need to get & recompile the source. To ensure all is well it may be best
to reinstall RH5, then install the qt binary. Using Glint (the RPM manager in X), examine the
kde pckages. You should load the libraries package first followed by the Base package. After
that all should be ok. You will probably need to edit the X11 config files to start kde instead
of the default window manager - even if you think you've killed everything, X11 will still try
to loan the basic twm manager as default if it can't find a more advanced system - you'll have
to poke around in /etc/X11 for the config files as I don't remember the correct ones at this
time. If you don't make his change every time you start X, twm will load and kde will report a
window manager already running & abort.

kde b4 is nice & worth the effort.

Hope this is of help.

I've been looking at the KDE distribution, and I have a quick question.
Can you use
regular X applications running the KDE interface? I get the impression
from what I've
read that KDE requires it's own applications.

I'm using Netscape 4.05 right now in KDE. I use plenty of other non
KDE apps as well.

Regular X apps work fine using KDE. I run Redhat 5.0 and KDE and haven't gotten the midi k-apps to
work well, so I just use xplaymidi and it works great. I also use netscape and a ton of other x
apps....hardly ever using native KDE apps.

No, this is not true at all. KDE comes with a window manager and
a set of applications that are have a common look and feel. These
apps also benifit from features like KDE session management(saving
the state of your desktop whenever you log out).

However, you're still free to run additional, non-KDE apps - xv, gimp,
netscape, nedit, staroffice - whatever you want. Put'em in the menu, make
shortcuts to 'em on your desktop, drop'em in the Panel. Use'm till your
heart's content.

Yes you can but you don't get the drag & drop facilities (e.g. if you
use the KDE image viewer you can drag a file from the filemanager into
the frame and it is displayed -- this won't work with xv but xv does
work perfectly well [just the same as it does in any "normal" wm]).

What is KDE ?

Is it a file manager ?

Nope, it's a full desktop environment a'la CDE. It includes a file manager
though (kfm).

See http://www.kde.org for more information.
