Hiya Ismael,
How do you start you X; xdm, startx,..? What does a ps -f show in
your shell while running X (startx->xinit->.xinitrc->afterstep -s)? What
is in your ..xinitrc script? Does it have a "C"? Are there any scripts in
the .xinitrc file called that have a "C"? How about in the
~/G/L/A/.windows (or is it .workspace_state?) anything about "C" there?
Or is there anything about "C" in the ~/G/L/A/autoexec file?
Searching through these would be your best bet in finding the
culprit. I don't use rpms much anymore so I don't know if that one
modifed your X start-up script to start AS or it's still trying to do KDE
(gag). :)
HTH
