Re: [Kile-devel] Unable to access "kile".

Martijn.

Many thanks for responding.  Here is what happens if I try to start `kile` 
from command line:

kabalg@p4:~> kile
kabalg@p4:~>

Basically, nothing...  There must be some sockets left open, but I don't know 
what their names are, nor do I know where to look for them.  In the meantime, 
I do get kile splash screen when I boot my PC in the morning and a few other 
glitches, reminding that the system "thinks" that kile is running.

BTW, I can access kile as super-user from the command line, but that is highly 
unsatisfactory.  Besides, it would be most useful to restore KDE to full 
functionality.

Thanks again for your effort to help.  Greatly appreciated.
