I can translate your error message for you. The daemon: "kded" crashed;
probably on its startup.
The most likely problem is that your crash corrupted a configuration file.
The first thing to do is rename the: "$HOME/.kde/" directory and try to
start with KDM again. If this works, they it is a corrupted file.
