    X/KDE was working fine, and I can use any software(frefox, evolution etc), but today When I startx, I got the following error messages, on tty1(ctrl+Alt+F1)
    #startx

    issue resolved... the cause of the prblm was absence of "kde 3" and "gnome" directories.

    infact somehow( i dont know how.... strange) the "gnome" and "kde3" directories under /etc/opt/ were deleted.
    I simply copy the two directories from another another machine, and then run
    #SuSEconfig
    I dont know either SuSEconfig is required or not, but before starting x, I simply run the susconfig(after copying the two directories).
