problem while logging in through kde in SUSE 9.3

hello all, I have problem while logging in(as root) through kde environment in SUSE 9.3. When I logged in as root throgh terminal, I tried kdeinit command. It reported that kded might be crashed. So i wanted to ask, what is the procedure to recover kded. Would there be any problem with Xserver itself ? Please help me for this issue. thanks & Regards, -Rishikesh.
