0/ Have you ever had a working kde install on this install

Yes. I have always had a working kde installed on this system and I have never had a failure login till now.

0B/ if so, what has changed since it last worked?
|
Nothing much.

1/ Is this purely local or is any element of your (if any) network at play? Such as having the home directory mounted over nfs, using an X Display that is not connected locally, blah blah, etc

I have tried login into root and starting kde through there. I still get the same error.
I checked
under /etc/fstab, everything is mounted as ufs except swap and my cdrom

2/ is it possible to use another window manager or does it too (or X) fail?
|
X doesnt' fail. Startx alone allows me to log in to the original X desktop environment.

3/ Is your X.Org configuration valid.
|
Yes since question 2 is satisfied.
I am wondering what is the fastest way to remove kde and reinstall the kde desktop environment. how big of a process will it be?
Will I have to reinstall all my applications such as ktorrent?
