I had a similar situation - It was not X that was prevented from startup (kdm launched) but logging in with my user just threw me back immediately at the login screen.
In $HOME/.xsession-errors I found the cause - it was libassuan .
libassuan has been updated in tumbleweed and the kde packages in tumbleweed seem to require that new version - or KDE crashes immediately. In my case, the lib was still from the standard opensuse repository. After installing the tumbleweed one, login worked again.
I had this same problem yesterday and saw the error in .xsesion-errors about assuan. I noticed that logging in worded fine with a new user so I systematically went through my home directory moving '.' files to a different directory. In the end it turned out that it was caused by .gpgme (IIRC) and after deleting that directory it worked again. I don't even think that it's just KDE breaking as I couldn't log into XFCE or ICEWM either. Only the 'Failsafe' session (just a terminal window) worked.
