Rob,

	Don't forget, for plasma restarts, there are only 3 commands required. If you 
find you need to restart plasma (or just to check for messages during restart), 
put the following in a little script called 'rsplasma' (or whatever you want to 
call it):

#!/bin/bash
kbuildsycoca4                     # 'k'de 'build' 'sy'stem 'co'nfig 'ca'che
kquitapp plasma-desktop >/dev/null 2>&1  # quit plasma
kstart plasma-desktop & >/dev/null 2>&1  # restart the darn thing and pray

get rid of the '>/dev/null 2>&1' to see the bazillion lines of gibberish and 
errors. That may help narrow the issue.
