woody's kde erratic



does anyone of you have an idea why the kde installation on a woody
machine which hosts two users, works fine for one but doesn't even
start for the other -- *even* after i removed *all* .kde and related
settings from that users home?

the symptoms are that after a kdm login, the startup screen of KDE
indicates that it's establishing communication (stage 1) and then
initializing system services (stage 2). it might hang there for
a while before "initializing peripherals" (stage 3), where it will
definitely hang for a long time. after that long time, the stages 4-6
are completed in a flash, the startup screen disappears, and nothing
but the user's background bitmap are shown. no KDE.

kdm.log shows no anomalies.

any clues?

there's an old proverb that says just about whatever you want it to.
