Oops!, above text should read the same as the subject line, problems seen on 2.6.21-rc1 and 2.6.21-rc2. The strace is huge 2737627 2007-03-02 03:28 KWIN.out. Further digging shows kwin, kicker and klauncher and perhaps other kdeinit stuff also die - no desktop icons after those 3 are started from the commandline. Moving kdesktop_lock out of /opt/kde3/bin, everything comes back after the video is blanked -- no password required. I shall run like that (2.6.21-rc2-git1 currently) and wait for openSUSE to upgrade to 2.6.21. I can send the straces of kicker and kwin on if you think it's still worth it. Thanks and Regards Sid.
