Does startx give you the twm session with some xterms and an xclock?
If so, try running 'startkde' from an xterm. (Or whatever may have
replaced startkde since I looked last.)
Running revdep-rebuild is a good idea after every update, too.
revdep-rebuild is your friend!!!! I can remember kicking off the
original emerge that caused my problem and thinking "I also need to
remember to run revdep-rebuild when done" and then promptly forgot to do
so. Thanks to walt's prompt, I've run it and things are now good.
Also thanks to the others for kicking in with suggestions,
Andrew
