So the tde failure on xorg 1.12 seems to be limited

identify what is running when the crash occurs to help narrow it down. I'm not
familiar with the 'startup sequence' so it would help if somebody who know could
chime in.
Maybe you already tried this, but normally when I had problems with
starting KDE/TDE, I would just choose a fail-safe session from KDM. Then
you normally only get an xterm or a konsole. From there I would then run
the startkde/starttde script so all the output would appear in the
terminal as it started up.
An alternative would be to just run an empty X server and use another
terminal (local or maybe ssh) with export DISPLAY=:1 (if you ran X :1)
and run the start script from there.
Normally the problem would be visible as a segfault or something like
that being printed in the terminal.
