When I perform log-in using root account, KDE starts OK. If I try to log-in using any other user account, kdm window disappears and nothing happends until I do manual restart of X server by Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. I have two user accounts: 'me' and 'pe' There are no errors at logs located at /home/pe or /home/pe directories. The only error type I could find was error messages at xdm.log and XFree86.0.log that are generated while the login process 'hanging'.

Start xfree or kdm 2. 3. Expected Results: It should log-in! :) Sorry, but haven't done 'emerge info' - the gentoo installation is in my home PC, but for a while I can say this: Portage version: portage-20030714.tar.bz2 Architecture: AMD Duron 1000, 256Mb RAM. If needed, I can specify 'emerge info' output tomorrow.
Do you use tmpreaper. If so clean out the /tmp/.X* /tmp/{kde,ksocket,mcop}-${USERNAME} and /tmp/.ICE-unix directories. Then try whether it works again. Also remove ~/.Xauthority from the user directory

Also remove ~/.Xauthority from the user directory Exactly these attemts I have already made yestarday: I cleared all files from /tmp and all files from /home/me except default rc-scripts, but problem persisted. One more suggestion: even if these files were present there, may be it would be reasonable to perform their deletion before kdm or xfree start (from mentioned locations by some script commands)?
After complete system rebuild from portage-20030817.tar.bz2 this problem (or bug) no more persists. Log-in process works fine. Bug can be closed. Thanks for everyone for good work!
Ok, closing the bug
