Hello,

after Dale (Dale <dalek at exceedtech.net>) gave the hint to look
a bit deeper into the list-archives i've found, that my problem
was solved by others already:

The reason for the reappearing xdm is that the normal user
cannot create /tmp/.ICE-unix like this:

drwxrwxrwt    2 root    root       4096 Jan 30 07:07 .ICE-unix

But after a first root-KDE-login (and logout)
the "normal" user has no login problems any longer
as (s)he could create (its) files in that directory by then...

A big thank you to Dale and 
sorry for wasting the bandwidth :(
