 Hmm, are you authenticating locally, or against a network/ldap server?
locally.

 Which logs have you checked?  Both /var/log/kdm.log and
 ~/.xsession-errors would be relevant.

Just stuff in /var/log, including kdm.log.  It contains lines like

FreeFontPath: FPE /usr/share/fonts/misc:unscaled/ refcount is 2,
should be 1; fixing.

which I presumed were not the source of the problem.

But I was unaware of ~/.xsession-errors.  After the first, failed login
it looks like this:

/usr/bin/startxfce4: X server already running on display :0
xrdb: Connection refused
xrdb: Can't open display ':0'
/etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc: line 52: xscreensaver: command not found

After the 2nd, successful login, it looks like

Hrm, normally it is the DM's job to setup the access control (with
xauth) appropriately to allow cllients to connect to the server, but
I'm no expert on this...it usually just works.

So maybe we can just double check a couple of basics:

Do you have x11-apps/xauth merged?
What are the permissions on ~user/.Xauthority

Other than that, I know exactly nothing about xfce4, but maybe this
problem is coming from the startxfce4 script...

Yes.

I think not.  I see the same behavior when trying to start a kde-3.5
session.
Besides, I have several other machines with identical startxfce4 scripts
that behave normally.
