KDE 3.3 startup problem

[Alex de Kruijff]

Hi,

I've updated my system to kde 3.3. This all when well. Then I had some
problem with startin it and deceded to start with a new desktop. I.e.
new home directory, and removing every other kde file related to my
user. This worked and I was able to login a couple times. Now i'm in the
middle of reconfiguring my system and I can't login anymore. The last
thing I did was enabling KDE socks (client) for kopete (which seems to
be broken since kopete isn't able to load). I don't have a clue what to 
do next. (I'm used configuring kde from within kde.) I was kinda hoping 
any of you whould.


This is the output from 'startx':
