Dave I'm not near the computer that causing this problem I'm going over 
there today and install NX on it so I can troubleshoot it from home, So 
I will get a better look at it then, and get back to you.

It is using KDE and the firefox GUI is just shutting down, disappearing .

I will be emailing you back later today.
Thanks
