sounds like a problem with the desktop manager but since you don't mention what that is i can't say much more. try reinstalling your desktop manager is my first guess with a problem like this. kdm i think it is. if that doesn't do anything you could also try installing a different desktop manager (lightdm is the one i know) and see if that changes anything. i'm also sure there must be a way to start the kde desktop system from the command line but you'll have to google for that a bit. songbird
