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].


Can you log into KDM? (IOW, does it just affect his account?)


Yes, my account behaves perfectly normally, and has done so both before
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.


How did you create the accounts? Using "adduser" or some other method?


adduser



Directory mask on new users?



mine is drwr-sr-x his is drwr-xr-x

which is odd becuause on all the other machines I have mine is drwr-xr-x!



So what happens if you "chmod g+s" his home directory? (I'm not saying this is a good idea, but I'd do it for testing purposes).
