[TriLUG] kdeinit explodes

[Jon Carnes]

Just as another data point, I'm running Mandrake 10.0 on a few of my
main production servers. They've run perfectly for quite sometime now
with up-times of almost a year (that's how long Mandrake 10 had been
out).

My production servers run in RC3 so no KDE problems there.

I tested Mandrake 10.1 when it came out and I didn't think it was stable
enough for a production server. Mandrake 10.0 though is still rock
solid.
