I've had the same problem.
After you logout ctl-alt-f1 and log in as root.
~#ps -A |grep kde
~#killall of what you got
~#/etc/init.d/kdm restart
I've found that there was something always left hanging around and that even
after I killed it I couldn't get back in unless I restarted kdm.
The other symptom that I've found the same thing fixes is when file_save_as
in kde programs isn't working any more or you get a message saying klauncher
can't be reached by dcop.
