I think it is kvt's problem. I do to. It may not be kvt but it does appear to be tightly related :). I downloaded and built vim. The paste session also locked up on my system. I don't know if locked up is a proper term because they continue to chew up cpu time. A tight loop seemed to be obvious. Murphy can misslead you there as to the proper terminology :). I used the kvt Icon at the bottom to start my terminal session. I guess you just have to remember which editor works. I don't have kde2 running right now. BTW, you can kill the kvt session. You just have to know which one it is :). I did a ps before I opened the 3rd kvt session and then after so that I knew which one it was. I could follow it with a simple ps.
