problem logging in and out SuSE 9.0 KDE 3.2

I have recently installed KDE 3.2 on SuSE 9.0 Pro, however I am experiencing 2 problems

1.auto-login no longer works, I am told that I could not be authenticated, and I have to enter my password

2.logging out or trying to shut down simply gives me a black screen, meaning I cannot shutdown or login as a different user

using kdm or gdm?

I'm using gdm & have not experienced any problems with logging out. I do not auto login so I can not comment on that.

I believe you forgot to remove your old KDE 3.1.x temporary files. Something similar happened to me. You should do (as root) :
[code:1]# init 3
# rm -f /tmp/kde-*.
# kdm 'then here you exit or kill it
# init 5
[/code:1]
