new user kde login fail

Regards,

I am installing ArchLinux and can't get KDE to work. 

As root, I created my user with the useradd command.  Installed Xorg, KDE.  The problem is that this new user's home directory is empty, and in particular, the kde login will fail :http://www.nabble.com/KDE-4.1-login-fails-for-new-user-td18420118.html

Did I do something wrong while creating the user  ?
What should I do do avoid getting an empty user directory ?

G.

Re: new user kde login fail

Did you follow the Beginner's Guide to set up X, etc.? Check the wiki page for KDE and Login Managers, etc.
