Mandrake 9/X login problems

[Jeff]

I'd be interested in a solution too. This happened to me back when KDE 3
came out. I upgraded to 3 and got those exact problems. I never did fix it,
I didn't have time to figure it out, so I just started over from scratch and
reinstalled everything. There's gotta be something easier.

| I just upgraded my MDK8.0 system to MDK9.0 and everything seems to
| have gone smoothly except for one slight snafu.  I can't login into
| my system through kdm.  If I give it my login and password, the kdm
| window goes away, I get a black screen, and then the login screen
| immediately comes back.  Running 'last' shows that I did actually login,
| but for about 1 second.  The interesting thing is that if I 'init 3'
| and then just run startx, I am able to use X w/o any problems.  These
| login issues only happen when using my account, the superuser can login t
| hrough kdm with no problems whatever. I've looked through various log
| files and there does not seem to be usefull data anywhere. I've deleted
| all .k* and .X* and .x* files from ~ to attempt a reset of my X
| environemnt, but still no luck.  Any ptrs appreciated.

| Tnx,
