Hi Keith

I have had the same problem, but I'm running SuSE 8.1, upgraded with KDE 
3.1 (from Linux Format Apr03), together with one or two other patches 
including the latest nVidia drivers, but nothing added to the standard 
Gnome as supplied. I generally only use KDE, so this problem has become 
a real pain.
It always happens if I try to run a Gnome based file manager e.g. 
SuSE>System>filesystem tools>Home Folder.

The screen flashes, Nautilus fires up, then the KDE kicker, panel etc 
stay visible and the Gnome desktop appears above it, with its own icons 
and background.

The only solution (first time it happened) I have found is the desperate 
deletion of the .kde dir in my home directory, log off and on again, 
then recreating my customisations etc. I save a (good) copy of .kde to 
copy back just in case now.

Anybody got other ideas for a permanent solution?
