To run KDE-4, a lot of environment variables need to be set to different 
values.  How are you accomplishing this?

To find the specific problem, login with Session Type = Failsafe.

Then in the Xterm run:

	startkde > user.log 2>&1

You might need the full path for 'startkde'.

Then examine user.log and see what went wrong.
