Error should be in $HOME/.xsession-errors, and just may point out 
the issue.

I would also create a new account and see if they account can log 
into KDE. 

Also might take a look in your /tmp account. KDE creates a few files
and directories in there. Typically the name are like /tmp/kde-<username>
or such. One of those might have had their permissions/ownership change
for some reason. This could happen if you changed anything that 
might affect /etc/passwd (perhaps changing your UID or GID for some 
reason).
