not able to log in to KDE

[Antonio Olivares]

Dear all,

after removing kdepim and other stuff, kde updates got
through :), however, I am still unable to login to KDE
:(.  I got the following when I typed startkde,
because startx defaults to GNOME, even though KDE was
set as the one :(

I will get back to the two computers on Monday gone
for the weekend.  I hope that at least on one I can
run KDE, both have given me similar results.  Thanks
for helping out.  Booting with enforcing=0, selinux=0
I can login and do my day to day work.  

Regards,

Antonio
