Re: KDE starts with terminal without any windows

It is might be an issue with your settings. Try doing:

mv .kderc kderc
mv .kde kde

Then try logging in again, and see if things start up okay. If so, you can either redo your settings or try to find where in the configuration files it is that something went amiss. Good luck.

The settings got messed up. The files I had you move were the settings for KDE, and since they no longer existed where KDE could find them, all the settings reverted to default and KDE worked again. As I said, you can either set it all up again, or do your best to try to weed out the problem.

The problem is most likely with with the session settings, so perhaps you could try putting the old settings back(aka move the kde and kderc files in your home directory back to .kde and .kderc), and then doing `rm -r ~/.kde/share/config/session/` and trying to login again. If that does not work, and someone does not come around with an exact solution, you can just move or delete the files again and setup KDE again.
