[gentoo-user] Not able to log into KDE via KDM after improper shutdown!

[Hareesh Nagarajan]

Hi,

I am no longer able to log into KDE 3.4 via KDM after an improper
shutdown (laptop overheated, and shutdown!). I am able to log in via
agetty (Ctrl-Alt-F1), though.

Incidentally, while inside KDE (as another user ofcourse) I am unable
to SU into superuser as well. My password is rejected.

KDM displays my username, but once I enter the password the screen
goes blank and I'm presented with KDM once again.

I am able to log in as another user. Is there some /home/<user>/.kde
file I need to delete?

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Hareesh
