I can login via shell both with my root-account and my ordinary-user-account.
But in kdm I can login only with my root-account.
I have opensuse 11.1

11.1 is obsolete, you should have 12.1 onwards.
Check filesystem usage with “df -h”.

OK, done. It says:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 88G 5.1G 79G 7% /
udev 499M 156K 498M 1% /dev

Next time, please use code tags. Advanced editor, ‘#’ button.
Ok, a full disk is not the cause. Try to log in to another, new, user.
If that fails, try a different desktop.

I created a test-account, gave it a password and created a homedir and subdir “Desktop”
Starting KDE with testaccount caused the message: “Could not start kstartupconfig4. Check your installation.”
But using ls showed:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 9804 Feb 24 2009 /usr/bin/kstartupconfig4
Then I successfully logged into IceWM with “root” and the test-account but not successfully with the first ordinary-user-account.
-
never log into a GUI as root you can accidentally damage stuff.
-
check ownership of the files in the troublesome users home. particularly ~/.Xauthority and ~/.ICEauthorty. These 2 files can become owned by root if you log into a GUI as root (see above). Remove the files if owned by root and try logging to that user then.

Hold on; You did not use Yast to create that account? It is prerable to
use Yast.

So, something wrong with kde in your system, and also something is bad
in your normal user. Could be permissions of some file, could be bad
configs.

Because You said that something’S wrong with KDE, I updated the system, and now it works fine. I successfully created a user account (with Yast) that works. (I will now use KDE with that account instead of with root.)
Thanks.
