Hi all, I'm using KDE 4.2.3 on all my (up-to-date) machines. My workstation crashed an hour ago so I had to reboot. But then KDE would not launch anymore. I'm clueless of what could have gone wrong... I login normaly via KDM, launched as runlevel 5 (inittab). KDM works: I can enter my login information. Then KDE starts loading. But then, as soon as the hardrive icon is fuly "unblured", it shutdown and bring me back to KDM. Same thing if I try via startx (startkde in .xinitrc). I then get this error in my terminal:

I even tried launching "startkde" via strace to see what was happening, but it seems fine:
