Could not start KDE 3.1.5 anymore

[Achim Lehmkuhl]

Hi list,

I have compiled KDE 3.1.5 from the sources using QT-3.2.3 on a SuSE 7.3 with 
kernel 2.6.0 and XFree 4.2.0.  It runs very well for just two days. Then I 
had a crash. I have stopped the session with ctrl-alt-backspace. Since that 
time I cannot start KDE 3.1.5.

When starting kdm in runlevel 5 /var/log/messages shows:

Jan 26 21:34:14 server kdm[11753]: Greeter exited unexpectedly

too fast)

If I start KDE with the "startx" command .X.err shows:

The old version KDE 3.0 is still working very well. I have no idea whats going 
wrong. Has anyone any hints?
