Hello!
GUI login fails. When KDE login dialog appears I typing username and password. When pressing Enter screen goes blank for a second and login dialog appears again with password cleared. It happens everytime I trying to login.
If I select a "Console Login" in dropdown menu, I can login and start kde manually.
I found some solutions in google and tried to applied them, but nothing helps.
After that I looked at messages log and found some strange strings:

Code:
kdm: :0[1064]: pam_unix(kde:session): session opened for user creaker by (uid=0)
kdm: :0[1064]: pam_unix(kde:session): session closed for user creaker


session was opened and immediately closed for user with UID=0
I looked for user uid:

Code:
id creaker
uid=1000(creaker) gid=1000(creaker) groups=1000(creaker),10(wheel),18(audio),27(video),85(usb),100(users)


Is all right with uid? Why session opens for user with uid=0?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I found some additional info, ~/.xsession-errors contains this message:
/usr/share/config/kdm/Xsession: line 71: exec: xterm: not found

I have not xterm installed. May be I must edit line 71 under 'failsafe case' in Xsession? If yes, what I must to write instead of
exec xterm -geometry 80x24-0-0


P.S.

I've replaced this string with 'exec /usr/bin/startkde' and now I can login.
