First weird thing:
 1882 tty2     00:00:13 X
 1936 tty1     00:00:00 agetty
 1937 ?        00:00:00 agetty
 1938 tty3     00:00:00 agetty
 1939 tty4     00:00:00 agetty
 1940 tty5     00:00:00 agetty
 1941 tty6     00:00:00 agetty

Normally X runs on virtual console 7 and shows up in ps listing 
without a controlling terminal.  Somehow, you managed to start X on 
tty2, I'm not sure if that is intentional or not.  But anyhow, you 
shouldn't be spawning a getty on the same tty as you run X.  That is 
IMHO almost guaranteed to cause a conflict.


Second thing:
 1927 ?        00:00:00 smbd
 1932 ?        00:00:00 smbd
 1919 ?        00:00:00 winbindd
 1928 ?        00:00:00 winbindd

You seem to be running multiple copies of certain daemons.  It is 
possible that these daemons start child processes but I can't tell, 
since your ps output doesn't use the -H option nor give the PPID.  If 
they are indeed duplicate instances, I can't predict the result but I 
don't think it is healthy.

See again Dan's earlier posting.  KDM and startx are normally 
alternative ways to start X.  By alternative, I mean mutually 
exclusive, one or the other but not both.
