Inactive KDE session

Since pacman updated my whole KDE environment last week, I have an inactive KDE session after login:

$ loginctl

   SESSION        UID USER             SEAT            
         1       1000 smyp             seat0

$ loginctl show-session 1

Id=1
Timestamp=Fre 2014-02-21 08:34:52 CET
TimestampMonotonic=3751269411
VTNr=1
TTY=tty1
Remote=no
Service=login
Scope=session-1.scope
Leader=437
Audit=1
Type=tty
Class=user
Active=no
State=online
IdleHint=no
IdleSinceHint=1392968136776186
IdleSinceHintMonotonic=3795723048
Name=smyp

I'm using kdm to login and my .xinitrc looks like this:

exec startkde

An here is my /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc:

#!/bin/sh
if [ -z "$XDG_VTNR" ]; then
  exec /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp "$@"
else
  exec /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp "$@" vt$XDG_VTNR
fi

As a result of the inactive session I am not authenticated and cannot mount any devices etc.

Any help appreciated!

Re: Inactive KDE session

KDM does not use .xinitrc and startx. This looks like the KDM session. Stop KDM to see if it's gone.

Re: Inactive KDE session

If I kill kdm and start KDE with startx from the console, everything seems to be fine.
