Since this seems to be fairly reproducible for you, you should try to bisect the kernel to see when it broke. You say this worked with 3.1.6-gentoo and failed with 3.1.10-gentoo, so that should be a fairly small range to bisect. If you can pinpoint the commit that caused it, you have a much better chance of getting the kernel developers to investigate the problem or revert the change. |

I've found that changing the login type, on the kcm login panel, from "plasma workspace (same as last time)" [or whatever it says, I don't have it in front of me, of course...] to "plasma workspace safe start" [ditto], or vice-versa, lets me log on reliably; well, it has done for the last 3 or four days.
I'm about to update my laptop's KDE, so I'll turn on symbols so if it occurs, I can try digging down. Trouble is, my laptop (32-bit Intel Atom) doesn't show any problem - it's my (64-bit AMD Phenom) that hangs, and I hope to avoid updating KDE on that for a little while... _________________ Greybeard |

This may be a coincidence, but I've noticed when my KDE logon hung, after issuing:
/etc/init.d/xdm stop
there was a copy of /usr/libexec/gam_server running, and killing it and any other processes against my logon userid enabled me to login to KDE. So after my last:
emerge --update
I added:
emerge -1 app-admin/gam-server
I've not had the problem in the couple of days since, but there-again there have been periods of a week without it appearing. My gut feel is that the hang is related to the KDE alert engine opening a window telling me something from my diary. _________________ Greybeard |

actually i no longer have this issue. i'm not sure exactly what fixed it, i was booting into my old kernel regularly and one day tried the new kernel and it worked.
a possible solution was deleting my .kde4/* folder |

you have started the DBUS server.

Thanks cavaaden! setting qtgraphicssystem to native not only has solved the kdm login issue for me, now the login process seems to be much more faster than before |
