KDE3.0 RH 7.3 Problem

[Jeff Claunch]

CORRECTION...sorry guys....

Last sentence...this problem happens only with KDE.  Gnome is working fine.

> When I put my username and password in, I am authenticated and the login
> process begins.  Gnome will work fine from this point and go right into
it's
> environment, however if I want to use KDE, this is where the problems
start.
> Logging in with KDE, the screen flickers and begins to login to the
> environment....it flickers a few more times (picking a resolution?) and
then
> puts me right back out to the login screen again.  What gives!!??  This
> problem happens whether I'm logging into the KDE or Gnome environment.
