KDE fails to start

[Stephen Liu]

Hi folks,

Debian
KDE-3.1

After starting the PC and login KDE as USER, it failed to start with 
following warnings

"view details (~/.xssession-errors file)"
/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default: Registering your session with wtmp and utmp
/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default: running : sessreg -a -w /var/log/wtmp -u 
/var/run/utmp -x "/var/lib/gm/ : 0 .xservers "-h "" -l : 0  user
+ wm=kde3
+ cp /dev/null /home/user.kde3-errors
+ chmod 600 /home/user/.kde3-errors
+ exec

# cat /gdm/PreSession/Default
....
echo "$0 : could not find the sessreg utility, cannot update wtmp and utmp"
exit 0

# cat /home/user/.kde3-errors
.....
+ echo "kde3: kde3 not found, Quiting"
kde3=kde3 not found. Quiting
+ exit

# ls -al /home/user/ | grep kde
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 1119 Jan 13 10:40 .gtkrc-kde
drwx------ 4 user user 4096 Jan 13 13:40 .kde
-rw------- 1 user user 528 Jan 13 13:28 .kde3-errors
-rw------- 1 user user 490 Jan 1 01:21 .kderc

(.kde3 not found)

Kindly advise how to fix this problem

TIA

B.R.
