Thanks Darin. But I login as as root in KDE and edited my user .cshrc  
and disabled all LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Then reboot and KDE worked after  
that. Strange.

Now, I am unable to lock screen in KDE. It says:

Will not lock the session, as unlocking would be impossible. No  
appropriate greeter plugin configured.

What does it mean? Please help.

Thank you.
