Mandrake 9/X login problems

[Deepak Saxena]

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,
~Deepak
