Subject:   Problem with KDM not passing to Xorg/KDE after login

Hey Guys, hoping you can help.

I Have a FREEBSD 6.2-STABLE recently supped and compiled, which is a
diskless environment. The workstation I'm testing on is working fine,
Xorg 7.2 is running perfectly as is KDE (I start it up with startx from
a user login).

However, when I run KDM as root, and try to login as the same user, KDM
sits for about a minute, and then just returns to the KDM login screen.
I've gotten rid of the critical error messages I've found in
kdm-bin.log, and Xorg.log.0, but still KDM will not pass to KDE/X.

Here are the excerpts from the logs (These log entries are only during
the login procedure, from when I press enter with a correct user/pass
until it returns to KDM).

<Xorg.log.0 snip>

be 1; fixing.
