I can't login through KDM - the login screen re-appears. GDM works fine. I can use KDE from GDM. I can also jump to console from the KDM login window and login from there - its only KDM thats the problem. Any idea as to what config detail I missed?

Is this only for the local user or the root as well ? What does kdm.conf say ?

Login fails for root and local user both. I didn't find kdm.conf. But /etc/kde3/kdm/kdm.options has the following lines: no-ignore-nologin no-restart-upgrade use-sessreg

Googling has shown that what happened is KDM actually restarts X, but no solution was offered.
