Re: Upgrade woody-->sarge, KDE stops working
I had the exact same problem ... except I use kdm. You must have
a lot more patience than myself. It only took me a few hours
before I decided to just back up all of my data and re-install
everything. :-)
With a fresh install, KDE works just fine.

Very similar problems here: after the upgrade, I use
xdm to log in. My window manager is icewm. But the
same problem. It flashes screens for a maybe five or ten
seconds (I have a slow machine) and I'm back at the
login screen again. So the problem may bot depend on
gdm and kde specifically, at least if I have the same
problem instead of just the same symptom.
