I am running kdm on box1 (RH6.0) and connecting to it from box2 (RH6.1alpha) with X -query box1 kfm will mysteriously crash, with kpanel following shortly thereafter. This does not happen when running X/KDE locally on box1. I first thought it might be some kind of auth problem, but even after putting both hosts in xhost on both boxes, this still happens. I don't seem to be able to cause this to happen, it usually happens when I turn my back for a few minutes, although I just watched it happen a few minutes ago. One thing I noticed is that DISPLAY is set to box2:0 rather than box2.domain.net:0, but this is probably a seperate issue? I am running kde-1.1.2 and XFree86-3.3.5 kdebase-1.1.2-11 XFree86-3.3.5-1.6.0 on box1 XFree86-3.3.5-17 on box2 (an alpha)
Caught it again and grabbed .xsession-errors. I doubt the audio stuff is pertinent, but I have included it anyway. maudio: Cannot open audio device. PID could not get read.

Can't reproduce it with the current version.
