Hi,
I wonder if you use woody and ran 'apt-get upgrade' recently. One
of the packages upgraded a few days ago is xfree86-common, which
contains the file /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99xfree86-common_start.
Please check this file, and if it contains the line
exec "$REALSTARTUP"
remove the quotes, so that it reads
exec $REALSTARTUP
Now login at your kdm screen, and see if it works.
HTH,
Raghavendra.
