When a login fails, then its usually worth a look in /home/<user>/.xsession-errors. This is where all the console output ends up. Otherwise you could do a failsafe login (starts X and a terminal only) and run startkde (I assume your using KDE?). All the output from KDE will then appear in the terminal. Hopefully, one of these will show you a meaningful error message...
