Hi, I have decided to bring up this thread again as I have found one interesting article related to this problem.
http://www.linuxworld.com/site-stories/2002/0902.kylix-p2.html

It seems that RH 7.3 is not supported by Borland and in some cases it causes Kylix 3 freezes when used with RedHat 7.3 stock kernel. Here is an excerpt from the article:

"The problems I ran into were:

application freeze-up in file open dialogs
inability to compile even the example projects
missing menu items

I got around the first problem by grabbing a stock version of the kernel (2.4.19) from www.kernel.org and installing it. It's been awhile since I've had to -- or simply wanted to -- build a kernel. It's much easier now than the first couple of times I did it."

Anyway I recommend reading this article, if you have problems running Kylix on RedHat 7.3.
