We had it about problems with NVidia drivers before, but I do not use NVidia cards, so I do not care about the details. > However, the problem completely disappears when I do not use ksmserver > in /usr/bin/startkde, ie I replace > > #kwrapper4 ksmserver $KDEWM > > by: > > kwrapper4 kwin & > kwrapper4 plasma-desktop & > kwrapper4 krunner & > test -n "$ksplash_pid" && kill "$ksplash_pid" 2>/dev/null > > I have put the .xsession-errors for the first (original startkde, > "bad") and the 2nd (modified startkde, no ksmserver, "ok") case in: > > http://home.arcor.de/stephan.hachinger/xsession-errors-bad > http://home.arcor.de/stephan.hachinger/xsession-errors-ok It seems you are running KDE as root user: kdeinit4_wrapper: Warning: connect(/root/.kde/socket-STEPHAN/kdeinit4__0) failed: : No such file or directory Error: Can not contact kdeinit4! I strongly recommend that you use a regular user for it. On a first glance both xsession-errors looked quite simular to me.

The other things I found: - Could not connect to D-Bus server: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoServer: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-T2YWVptAcv: Verbindungsaufbau abgelehnt => But thats even in the ok case. Is dbus running at all? KDE 4 heavily relies on DBUS. - wicd-client seems to segfault, maybe try with deinstalled wicd-client? Which one do you have installed? The kde or gtk variant? - Akonadi does not be able to start the MySQL database server... did you install mysql-server-core-5.1 or something like that?
