After all that ... it hung while booting. I power-cycled it and got the KDE^H^H^HTrinity login. Logged in and got a popup that said:
There was an error setting up inter-process communications for KDE. The message returned by the system was:

Please check that the "dcopserver" program is running!
Naturally, I clicked OK. Ended up with a frameless xterm window and no menus, etc, as if I was in a failsafe session (though there was a desktop image). Logout/login and get no popup, but still have a single xterm albeit with frame, menus, etc. Still no icons, menus, etc.
Help?
Looking at it now, dcopserver is running:
root 1502 1 0 14:42 ? 00:00:00 dcopserver [kdeinit] --nosid --suicide
This might be related to a feature that was added a couple of weeks ago. Try editing your /etc/trinity/kdm/kdmrc (or kdmdistrc file if it is present) and edit this line: WindowManager=kwin to read WindowManager=
If the WindowManager=<something> line is not present then add it in the [X-*-Greeter] section of the file.
Reboot and try logging in again.
Let me know if this allows you to login--it is a workaround and the real cause of problem will need to be investigated if this works.
Thanks!
