Re: KDE 4.0, login problem.
Hello,
I suggest you take a look to the startkde output. For that, you should
firstly create a script somewhere containing this command :
/media/sda8/KDE4/kde/bin/startkde 2>&1 | tee startkde.log
Then, modify the .desktop file to point to this script, then look into
the generated startkde.log for errors.
My bet : some environment variables such as KDEDIRS and KDE_HOME need to
be defined. This could be done in this little startup script, just
before calling startkde. You'll find more information about these
variables here :

Cheers,
Valentin
