Can you log in at a text console (ctrl-alt-F2 to activate one)? Even if 
you can't you're more likely to get helpful error messages. If you can, 
then try "startkde".

BTW I prefer to use text login and start the desktop manually, it 
prevents the sort of problem you're having from stopping me logging in 
at all.
