[solved] Infinate KDM loop

I had to reinstall libstdc++v3 after playing around with LDFLADS in which I managed to break a few QT based apps. Anyways, now I have the infinate KDM login loop. KDM lanuches at system boot just fine, but logging in sends me right back to the KDM login screen, hence the inifinate loop.

XDM works fine. I can start/login into any wm/de (whichever is set to default) so this is definately a KDM issue.

Any ideas?

Check ~/.xsession.errors or something like it. If your window manager can't start it will shut down X. Since gdm/kdm is respawned (see /etc/ttys), it starts right right up again, seeming like an endless loop. Other places to check are any kde logs, /var/log/*

Hope that helps
