While attempting to install an external screen on my laptop I messed up the KDE screen settings and upon reboot I get a command line interface.
Which configuration file should I edit to set up my screen so that I get my Debian lenny KDE GUI back?

Best way to do it is to go into your home directory, and remove the .kde4 folder. So, "rm -fR $HOME/.kde4". Then when you boot the next time, you'll have a fresh desktop, and just have to set your preferences again.

Thanks, but I get a command line and no GUI _before_ logging in, I actually get no GUI login screen at all, so it can't be affected by specific user preferences as it happens before _any_ user logs in.

Based on your first post, it seemed you were saying that only one user was affected. So if you're not getting a GUI at all, are you able to log in at command line?? Hard to tell from what you've posted....

Thanks. When Debian startup is over and kdm is said to have been started, I get a command line login prompt, no GUI. Then I can login at the prompt as root or any other user and of course I keep on operating from the command line, no GUI starts up from a command line login.
