Begin a failsafe X session, then start KDE using "startkde" and examine
the error messages. Starting a failsafe session can be done in a number
of ways. Basically, it's an X session with just an xterm, no window
manager. Rather than list the myriad ways one could get to a failsafe
session, just edit your .xinitrc files to include just the line "exec
xterm" and then issue the "startx" command.
