KDE stops at "Initializing system services" after installing kdemod

I tried to install kdemod yesterday, but after the installation, I can't log in to KDE. The login sequence hangs at "Initializing..." and won't continue. I've seen this mentioned in the long thread at the arch forum, but no real solution, as far as I can see.
Now, I've tried to revert to vanilla KDE, but same problem there. I've tried to reinstall qt3 and qt4, remove every trace of .kde and .qt in ~, but to no avail.
kdm.log says:

QSettings: error creating /tmp/1030085085/.qt
QSettings: failed to open file '/tmp/1030085085/.qt/qt_plugins_3.3rc'
QSettings::sync: filename is null/empty

It was suggested in the other thread that this was a permissions issue, but my permissions are correctly set.

After a while, KDE does actually load, but everything is slooooow, and nothing works...

Can someone help me out here -- I need my kde back...

[I've posted this on the KDEmod forum as well, but since it doesn't seem to be exclusively a kdemod problem, I post it here as well.]

chmod 1777 /tmp should fix it.

As I said, my permissions are correctly set. I should have been more specific, but that's what they are now.

do you have 127.0.0.1 localhost in /etc/hosts?

1. Add lo to rc.conf
2. /etc/rc.d/network restart
