Major power outage during thunderstorm (2+ inches rain in 15 minutes).
When power return ~1 hour later, had to power cycle cable-modem and router. Booted to level 1, then level 3, then level 5. Reached logon screen, entered name/passwd/kde .... and nothing. Did init 3 and startx and kde works.
Did init 5, logged into <text> user and everything works normally, including starting another X session.
This is exactly what I had before except now on ver 4620 nvidia drivers.
May I suggest getting a UPS? Power cuts and/or power spikes on unprotected hardware can often cause very strange effects
