This means your session did not run and there are no X clients connected
to the (apparently working) X server.
I don't know about kdm, but usually there is a log file in your home
directory capturing the errors from the session startup script - you need
to find out how that is called and check its content.
E.g. for me (using xdm and xfce4) it is
~/.xsession
that is executed to start the session and
~/.xsession-errors
has the stderr output of it.
