I just did a system upgrade after a couple of months. The system boots fine to kdm, but login fails, with nothing in .xsession-errors - I just get dumped back to the logon screen.
If I boot to run level 3, I can login and startx followed by startkde, or any other window manager with out a problem.
I created a clean test account, but same behaviour. Apart from KDE, I have xfce and window maker, so its not a KDE problem and not something in the .xsession file.
Any ideas?

nvidia 180.35 by any chance? if so downgrade and try again.

no ati radeon
in any case graphics settings are fine as I can startx from run level 3, no problem
I now also narrowed this to a kdm problem; if I switch to xdm, there is no problem
any ideas how to fix kdm?

I get a very similar issue in GNOME. It keeps forgetting the language setting (it should be en_GB.utf8) and refuses to let me login. I keep having to reset the language back and forth between system default (en_GB.utf8 at build) and back again. I thought at first it might that damned hot-plugging thing (which has never worked for me), but I've tried both with and without the AutoAddDevices hack. Any ideas?
