After upgrading to KDE 3.5.5, I can no longer start KDE from KDM.
Kdesktop crashes and leaves no trail. I rebuilt kdestop with the debug
USE flag, but I have no idea where to look for debugging information.
I can start KDE from a regular terminal session using startx.
Any ideas?
There are two possible locations to look at for error messages.
Errors before the session starts should show up in /var/log/kdm.log.
Errors from the session itself should be in ~/.xsession-errors.

Thanks,
I get this in .xsession-errors when I try to start from KDM:
xset: bad font path element (#281), possible causes are:
Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
Directory missing fonts.dir
Incorrect font server address or syntax

Could not open library kwin.la: /usr/kde/3.5/lib/libkdeinit_kwin.so:

I have re-emerged kwin and kdm. This error does not occur if I startx
from a terminal session, and if I unset $DISPLAYMANAGER in
/etc/conf.d/xdm and set XSESSION="kde-3.5" in /etc/rc.conf, KDE starts
fine with no errors.
I'm stuck.
