Hi,

Today i aptidude'upgraded my system, and KMail stopped working.
At first i wasn't able to send emails (it complained that can't
connect to gmail), I rebooted (today's upgrade was quite large), and
now it doesn't load at all (just hanging).

P.S. None of KDE apps shows icon in tray area, instead i see a
separate window. I believe it's because of gnome upgrade.

Any ideas how to solve this (no, i don't want to switch to KDE).

Regards,
Atis

You might be caught in the middle of the KDE 3.5.6 -> 3.5.7 transition.
Maybe you need to do a dist-upgrade instead of a normal upgrade to
complete it. (If you used 'U' in aptitude's interactive mode then you
probably did the equivalent of a dist-upgrade already, though.)

You can run the following commands to get an idea about the ratio of KDE
3.5.7 and KDE 3.5.6 packages on your system:

aptitude -F '%p%?v' search '~i(~Gsuite::kde|~dkde)' | awk '/3.5.7/{print $1,$2}'
aptitude -F '%p%?v' search '~i(~Gsuite::kde|~dkde)' | awk '/3.5.6/{print $1,$2}'

(Or add "| wc -l" at the end if you want to get numbers directly.)

You should also check ~/.xsession-errors after you try to start KMail.
