After many investigations, I have finally found that it was PAM which caused the issue :
+ my KDE installation (built with konstruct and located on my home account) had been built on a RHEL3 machine but was being executed on a RHEL4 machine.

+ the PAM service on RHEL3 was 'kde' (as shown in the config.log); an /etc/pam.d/kde file was present on the machine as well. On RHEL4, this file is not present any more and has been replaced by /etc/pam.d/kcheckpass.

+ as soon as I added back the kde file in /etc/pam.d (and renamed the kcheckpass one), things started working again.

It thus seems like a configuration issue, which is why I am closing this bug. However, it might have been desirable to have more information on the failure. I will see to open a new bug report if I can find this is possible.
