 Hi  Punit

       you said that you can longin as root in console mode? 
If so have a try at installing kdm. kde's login app.
I would say allso to remove the other login apps ie, xdm and gdm if they are 
installed. I had the same problem with sarge of not being able to login by 
kdm after a dist-upgrade  Unstalling kdm and installing it again sorted the 
problem out here. why ?? .
 
                     all the best.
