KDE stops at "Initializing system services" as user.

Hello.
I have a problem with KDE 3.5.10 on Slackware 12.2. I can start it just fine as root but when I start it as a user (even a user with root rights) it stops at the second icon at the splash screen, "initializing system services". Any other window manager work just fine, it's just KDE that fails to start. The Xorg (1.4.2) log shows nothing strange except a warning about fonts not being accessible or existing. I'm not 100% sure but I think this started after that I installed the newest Nvidia 185.18.36 drivers. I have also installed the latest SB X-Fi drivers (1.00) after that. I have sound, net access and (according to the x log) SLI enabled display on all the other window managers. The file that I have checked for errors is only Xorg.0.log. I do not have a .xsession-errors file. Is there any KDE specific log that I can check?
Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

And one other thing. I remember back when I ran Slackware 4.0 I used to have a e-term with a "tail -f" on a specific "file" (somewhere in /proc/ if i'm not mistaking) that showed all incoming connection attempts. I think it even showed all connection attempts but a "| grep" sorted out the incoming ones. Does anyone of you know which "file" i'm talking about?
