Umm...what exactly was the solution to the problem? If you could list it out, possibly the next individual searching the list archives could benefit from it...
My brother and I have separate accounts. To access files in my home dir, he made my user and his user member of all groups.(dunno how that helped him!! but i dont blame him , he is a kid in 10th std). Then later on , when I removed some softwares, may be a group associated with it was deleted but both users were its members or so . So I just made the group memberships to minimum needed ie. own group and wheel group , and KDM login happened . I may be wrong in assesing the problem as I dont know which group's membership exactly caused the problem. I am wondering why was GDM working then if KDM had problem !! Is it a bug in KDM that its checking for harmless and inconsequential errors and giving up on it , coz if GDM can start my KDE why not KDM !!
