[parisc-linux] Problems running KDE on PARISC

[Helge Deller]

Hi Thomas,

You may try to remove/move away the libarts binaries and libraries 
(dpkg -L libarts).
They regulaty crash here for me too when running the KDE 3 CVS version.
This seems to be related to the fact that we still have issues
with threads on hppa.
