Are dbus and consolekit started? Attach ~/.xsession-errors if you can.

Looks like broken xorg.conf to me.

No, the problem is the same without xorg.conf

Does starting a failsafe session work in kdm?
In the failsafe session you can run startkde and watch its output.

I encountered the same problem after upgrade from KDE 4.5.4 to 4.5.5. KDM segfaults right after login: kdm[1651]: segfault at 0 ip           (null) sp 00007fffadb503d8 error 14 in kdm[400000+29000]. I still can run fully functional KDE running startx.

Please try kde-4.6.0 and report back...
Comment 12 Andreas K. Hüttel archtester gentoo-dev 2011-04-08 19:22:09 UTC 
Old kde version, no reply for over a month...
