kde troubles....

[Gary Kline]

AFter a  power glitch last night I was able to relogin as room, but 
# kdm

fails with the error: "can't create /var/run/kdm.pid.

I check that file  and, yup, it's there.  kdm still fails.  
 Gmnoe only gives me  a small emergence xterm---probable due to my
 ~./.xsession setup.  Any ideas why kdm is unhappy??
