Continuing problem (not) running kde3 from kdm

Hello

This is a problem I reported a while ago. That was setting up a nother PC, but 
after recovering from a disk failure, I am getting the same problem on my PC. 
I've had a good go at solving this, but no luck.

If I log on through kdm, instead of getting the desktop I get what I think is 
an xterm window. In tjhis window, I can type "./.xsession" and my desktop 
comes up fine, so I suppose there is a connection betwen kdm and .xsession 
missing? 

If I use xdm for logon, then I do get to hte kde desktop no problems (but the 
xdm logon does not have a closedown option, which confuses the children).

If I start from a text screen and type "startx -- :1", then I get my kde 
desktop no problems.

Anyone know why kdm is not running my .xsession? Or if that is a red herring, 
anyone know what the problem actually is? 

I am running kde 3.1.4 on Suse 7.3.

Steve
