May note be very helpful, but I had the same message when experimenting 
with the nvidia X driver (as supplied by nvidia). With my new distro 
(Slackware 12.2) KDE would never start properly when I had this driver 
set up. Instead I would get the message you quote. In the end I just 
went back to the nv driver supplied with X11 so I never resolved the 
problem. Sounds quite unrelated to the circumstances of your problem, 
but the error seems to be the same. Some config somewhere is being 
overwritten in both circumstances I guess.
