This is an indication that the login session failed. This is usually an error in one of the user startup scripts in your home directory. > If I quit kdm by selecting console login from the menu, then login > as myself (a regular local user) from the regular console, I can > start KDE with "startx". KDE starts and works fine. That is strange. What errors are logged to the .xsession-errors file when you can't log into the machine? There should be something interesting in there. > ------------------------------------ > $ cat ~/.xinitrc > #!/bin/sh > exec /usr/bin/startkde This is not related to your current problem. But you will want this too. You should additionally have a ~/.xsession file with the following: #!/bin/bash --login exec /usr/bin/startkde The ~/.xinitrc is used by the startx wrapper around xinit. The ~/.xsession is used by kdm/gdm/xdm when logging in from the graphical login managers. Bob
