no, I enter my password and it redisplays the login screen
This almost sounds like you have bin/false as a login shell or something other than bin/bash
Then why could he log in to a text console?
Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but it looks like he's saying he's logging into a console as ROOT in either kde or a terminal but not as himself...if that is the case, perhaps it is because he is out of disk space in '/' and cleaning up some space on the root device (perhaps by erasing stuff in /tmp) would clear it up????

He specifically said he could login as himself @ console. Somehow we failed to quote that part of his email.
I had this problem on a clients machine, Her son was learning use blender and blender filled tmp directory. I'm with Richard, Go into a console as root and empty the tmp directory That's all I had to do.
