The mixer applet and kmail session did not start either, running:
ksmserver -r.
It worked better without the -r.

I cannot get a root password into any of the configs such as kcmshell kdm.

And .. guess what. I CAN get back to the kde session. By control/alt/F3! (I 
have configured the system for only two console sessions.)
