I'm getting somewhat confused by the sub-threads, but I'll try to keep things
in place.
To test this theory I tried to avoid calling keychain in any way. I had
already removed it from .bash_profile, and I commented out all reference to it
in the script. I then started Konsole, which asked for my keychain
passphrase. I cancelled that and it returned that it was "unable to add" my
identity, I guess. Anyway, I then started the script. It behaved exactly as
it had done before, stopping at the same place. By the time I tried to run
the commands Martin said I should run as root, things started to sieze up and
I had to reboot.
BTW, plasma-desktop was one of the processes that was said to be in "disk
sleep".
