So it's a configuraion issue probably. Test this: create another user
account (e.g. "test") and try logging in as that account. If that works,
it's your home directory configuration. Permissions? Can KDE create a file
.DCOPserver....etc in your home? Is there enough space available, and can
root write in that directory (this is NOT always the case, like in NFS
setups)?
Then, try deleting or moving away
.Xauthority # gets recreated anyway
.xinitrc # custom X session - might be the problem
.Xsession* # ditto, plus error logs
.wmrc # preferred window manager
.DCOP* # KDE application communications files
.mcop* # ditto
and try logging in again. (restart KDM after deleting the files, just to be
sure)
If it still doesn't work, look into .Xsession-errors (yes, the file you
just deleted ;), that's where most X programs write their logs.
