Have you tried creating a new user that uses gnome
or KDE? If that
works then it indicates the config files under the
users home directory
have been messed up. You can try moving those files
else where and then
starting up KDE. In most cases it will recreate the
users config
files. Move them, don't delete them, you may want
to recover certain
things you had setup previously.
I tried creating a new user, antonio, as root user and
I tried running KDE and the same message appears. I
try running GNOME and it stays hanging having to
ctrl+alt+backspace. I can only acess the KDE, GNOME
desktops as root user. Will wait a little before I
start over from scratch.
Regards,
Antonio
