When you have such a problem you should always try logging into the
text console too, to see if it's a PAM problem.
In this case, I'm sure you will find you can log in fine to the text
console: the fact that it 'seems to start' your session almost
certainly means that is exactly what its doing.
Your session file is probably broken: I don't know how KDM manages
sessions, but you probably need to clear or delete a config file.
Does KDM not offer some kind of 'safe session' or 'bare .xsession'
option?
