Further observations:

A. WindowMaker does not work either -- just recycles me back to the login.

B. The other user that I created after the upgrade from 9 to 9.1 works fine.

So, create a new user and all works fine. In YAST, delete your account WITHOUT deleting your home directory, because you need your data such as bookmarks... Then rename your home directory to something new. Create a new user edoc. Login and be happy :-) For your old data, you should find the most in your old, renamed home under .kde/share/apps. You have to cojungle a lot, but you see an end.

The problem are the files and sockets in /tmp/ -- clean out /tmp/ (or change the ownwership) and all should work.

Wipe everything, edoc, root, and the other user or only edoc?

If I try the change method will chown -R edoc:users /tmp/* get it done?

As KDE don't need the temporary files in /tmp, clean everything in /tmp or if you are unsure, rename it (so you can reuse it later if you want to).

Thanks! doc

Hope to help you! Al
