If it is just one user, try also (re)moving the following:
~/.qt
everything in /tmp that belongs to that user.

Has helped for me before, when KDE had start problems after playing around too
much.

I don't know if this will help in your particular case or not, but I ran into
something like this a couple weeks ago, and I've had the same problem on an
assortment of boxes. The cure in all cases was to use the supplied config
files that came in with the new packages. kdmrc and maybe Xsession... I
forget which ones exactly, but something changed in the XFree86 to X.org
transition that broke the old config files in some way I never quite worked
out.

Hmmm... gmail didn't use the 'reply-to' so only Frank recieved my work
around....

I managed to get it to work by removing ~/.font.conf - I had been
playing with some AA settings in KControl last week and only just
restarted KDM. I'll do some more fiddling in case I can reproduce the
problem.

Cheers,
