I couldn't log in any more as I tried it some time ago. But I guess it
was due to something else. 

I retried it today. Nearly everything worked. 
The only thing (it's a standalone workstation) is the scripts in my
~/.kde/Autostart folder aren't executed anymore...

Is there any way, so I can mount my home noexec, but allow scripts to
run in a special folder?
