KSMServer: Aborting

Had to rebuild Arch because I failed to allow enough disk for mount point '/'.  Used the current download of 0.7.
(Have kept the system updated for last 6 months)

Initial 'pacman -Sy kdebase kdelibs' reported xorg conflict with xfree86.  Then did 'pacman -Sy xorg' and kdebase kdelibs updated without error messages.

Then 'pacman -Sy kde' apparently executed without errors.

Now startkde dumps at the point of initializing peripherals.
Here's the screen after the abort---

ts    (if that means what it sounds like!  it's appropriate)
KSMServer: Aborting
startkde: Shutting down
Warning: leaving MCOP Dispatcher and still 12 object references alive
    -Arts: SampleStorage
    -Arts:    etc.......... thru MidiManager
warning: leaving MCOP dispatcher and still 113 types alive
klauncer: Exiting on signal 1
ICE default IO error handler doing an exit(), pid = 1966, errno = 0
startkde: Running shutdown scripts
startkde: Done
waiting for X server to shut down
$       

Will appreciate your help in deciphering this.

Re: KSMServer: Aborting

Well, here's a followup.

Used Knoppix to post the original message.
Then rebooted Arch.
Now kde loads as it should.  Arts still missing some stuff, but at least I am running.

Thanks for looking.
