    Question KDE starting problem - for one user only

    I have a strange problem. All users in my computer are able to start KDE, except for one. With that one user, it gets stuck while loading. I've found nothing unusual in the logs, it just never finishes loading. Does anyone have any idea what the problem may be?

    Thanks in advance.

    boot up in command line mode, log in as a user having KDE problem and execute 'statx'. post error message here, if any.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Unhappy

    I've already tried that, sorry I didn't mention it earlier. It's exactly the same. No error messages, it just won't load.

    does it display anything like KDE Splash Screen on executing startx?
    delete .kde folder from user's Home folder.

    That worked. Thank you!
    (The problem was somewhere in .kde/share/config).
