KDE 2.0.1 for stable doesn't come up?

["Ralf G. R. Bergs" <rabe@RWTH-Aachen.DE>]

Hi there,

yesterday I've installed KDE 2.0.1 for Debian 2.2, but I'm facing unexpected 
problems getting it to run.

First, kdm runs fine. But when I try to log in, or rather after I've logged 
in the KDE desktop doesn't come up. The rastered grey background just sits 
there waiting forever. The same happens if I try to run KDE by executing 
"startx." Following is a list of processes running at that time:

    /bin/sh /usr/bin/X11/startx
    xinit /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc -- -auth /home/rabe/.Xauthority
    X :0 -auth /home/rabe/.Xauthority
    x-window-manager
    kdeinit: dcopserver
    kdeinit: klauncher
    kdeinit: kded
    kdeinit: Running...

Does that look right to you? Or is there something missing that should be 
running? How can I debug my setup, i.e. determine why the machine is just 
sitting there doing nothing?

BTW, using fvwm95 the system works fine, but I'm fed up with this bare-bones 
window manager.

Thanks,

Ralf
