This morning my computer was acting a little shifty (programs not opening sometimes, things responding slowly etc.) so i decided to restart X. When i did, all went seemingly well, i was taken to KDM like expected, but, when i logged in, i was taken straight to xterm instead of xfce4. I also tried kdemod which i also have installed on this computer, but it also did not work. The only thing that i have worked on very recently is my conky config, and i am pretty sure that didn't do this.
So, any ideas on what to do here? I don't know how to do this type of thing from a terminal so that i can try to find an error message. Likewise, i don't really kow what other information you might need for this so if you need more info, just ask. Thanks

What does
ls -la
show you about permissions in your ~/? Particularly .ICEAuthority and .Xauthority. Make sure they are *yours*.

When i try "startxfce4" i get this message:
bash: /usr/bin/startxfce4: /bin/sh/: bad interpreter: Permission denied
i have tried it both as a regular user and as root. I tried this earlier, and thought that it didn't work because it was the wrong input... but now i am starting to think that this IS my problem.
Yesterday i tried to move a script into /bin/sh from the command line, and while i thought that i did it correctly, it is VERY possible that i didn't. I can't remember, but i am pretty sure that i used: mv /home/me/script.sh /bin/sh/ .
If that is the mistake that i made am i completely screwed?
about the ls -la, everything looks right there, tha is, everything belongs to me

/bin/sh isn't a directory, that's problably the reason.
as root:
rm /bin/sh
ln -s bash /bin/sh
(lambda ())

Thank you. That makes sense.
