Bug Description
After restarting X with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, KDM does not start KDE. After successful login the screen goes black and KDM returns. (It appears as if X server is restarted.)
I fail to find anything relevant in KDM or Xorg logs. Right now I have resorted to using gdm (it manages to start KDE fine). This is the second machine I've encountered this on. First one was a HP ze5612ea laptop and I didn't report it because I assumed I just messed something up bad. Now I hit it with my AMD64.
I guess forced restart of X left back something KDM can't handle. Any suggestions on what it might be are welcome. Anyway, I think this shouldn't happen in any case.
