Hello all,
I'm having a problem with my debian unstable and I'm hoping some could help me solving it. Since I'm a
, please be gentle.

First the problem it self:
When booting, kdm starts as it is supposed to. When giving the right credentials and selecting any displaymanager but "failsafe", kdm disappears and about a second later the xserver restarts and shows kdm again.
When failsafe is selected, the xterm starts. With the command startkde, kde starts as it is supposed to.
If I try to start the X server from the console with startx it just shows the gray background and throws me back to the console. The last message being something like "waiting for the x server to shutdown".
I have checked the kdm.log and XFree86.0.log, both report some messages which seem to be common:
Warning: font renderer for ".snf" already registered at priority 0
...
QImage::... Image is a null image
I have attempted to start kdm from a console with "kdm -debug 0" and no apparent errors or warnings came up.

The problem started after I used apt-get to update kde from 3.2.3 to 3.3.1 and xserver from 4.3.0.dfsg.1-1 to 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8.
The only error message that shows up, although I'm not sure if it has any thing to do with the problem is the following:
"kdm_greet[2182]: Can't open default user face"
