Bug 109843

Version:           SVN BRANCH 3.5 (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc-3.4.4-2.fc3 
OS:                Linux

How to Reproduce:
1. Set my SVN install of KDE to be "active" in my ~/.bash_profile
2. Log in.
3. Every time I do this, the login hangs at the same point, as described below.

Expected Behaviour:
1. Set my SVN install of KDE to be "active" in my ~/.bash_profile
2. Log in sucessfully.



I have been having issues logging in to KDE from BRANCH 3.5.  What happens is the splash screen hangs at "Starting System Services"  Eventually, it will just time out, and the screen goes blank (not
black, but some kind of greenish or blueish color)  No icons, nothing.  I Can do "Ctrl | Alt | <--" and I am (thankfully) immediately taken back to the login screen.

Here are the steps that I've gone through to try to get this to work before reported this:
1. Completely fresh install (not an upgrade)  of Fedora Core 3.  EVERY package chosen, and then fully updated via YUM.  The only repositories that I used during the update are the same ones I used when I used to be able to log into KDE: updates released, base, gstreamer, kde-redhat.  The install completed with no problems.
2. I completely removed all of my KDE SVN checkouts and redownloaded every one of them.
3. I made sure that the following was in ~/.bash_profile when I built the modules:
> export YACC='byacc -d'
> QTDIR=/usr/local/qt-src
> PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
> MANPATH=$QTDIR/doc/man:$MANPATH
> LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
> export QTDIR PATH MANPATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH
> 
> KDEDIR=/usr/local/kde-svn
> PATH=$KDEDIR/bin:$PATH
> LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$KDEDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
> LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
> export KDEDIR PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH LIBRARY_PATH

4. All of the modules that I've installed so far (arts, kdelibs,
kdebase - in that order) I've compiled using the following commands:
unsermake -f Makefile.cvs
./configure --enable-debug=full --prefix=/usr/local/kde-svn
unsermake
"su" to root
unsermake install

All appeared to go well up to this point.

5. Log out, and the try to log back into KDE (with the above QT and KDE
paths active in my ~/.bash_profile

6. Result: splash screen still hangs at "Starting System Services"

Because compiling KDE from TRUNK (before TRUNK became KDE4) always
"just works" for me, I don't have a clue about where to look for any
log files that may be of help.  There did not appear to be anything of
any use in /var/log
Just in case there is aything in /var/log that might be of help to you
on this, you can see selected contents of that directory here:

My ~/.xsession-errors is located there.
