Can you log into KDM? (IOW, does it just affect his account?)I have a laptop which has been running Debian for around 2 years now, with a user ID for me which works just fine. I can log on to a line mode console or use KDM to log on to KDE - no problems. The machine is running Sid, and is pretty well up to date.
Recently I added a user ID for my son so that he could use this machine
for some school work. He claims he did nothing out of the ordinary, but
after a history lesson he stopped being able to log into KDE [but can
log into a console].
and after his account was created. I think it may be all new accounts
that have this problem. I created another account, and that too had
the problem.
adduser
Some thoughts.
Try a different wm/de, such as icewm or wmaker
Switch session managers (apt-get install gdm) and see if the problem is there also.
Look at /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc for any restrictions/privs specific to your account/other than your account.
Directory mask on new users?
.Xauthority issues for new users?
