So you need to delete it and try again when there are problems.
Maybe it's worth the effort to tweak logrotate to create a new kdm.log every on boot.
As your kdm.log says:
Fatal server error: Server is already active for display 0
If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again.
perhaps it is ONLY the lock file that is gumming things up. Xorg is very archaic in many ways and this is one aspect.
OK. I hope I will remember to log in to a text console on my return to office and check for a the lock file. The machine is down and out now for the weekend.
Run 'ps' and see what's running. If you are 100% sure from that run that there is no 'X' of any form running, then delete the lock file and try again.
Or reboot.
Will have to, see above.
And yes I hate 'reboot' as a cure. So Microsoftian.
