KDE on OpenBSD

OK, I'm having problems with KDE again. I'd give GNOME a try if i could get it...
 
KDE is absolutely refusing to start up. kdm starts, but doesn't log in properly, not starting the window manager.
 
Specs: PIII or so, 394mb RAM (known good, a 256 and a 128 from my last laptop), 30gb hard drive.
Running openbsd 3.6, planning to upgrade soon. Its a new machine.
 
I tried the man pages, info pages and google, got nothing.

piratePenguin:
Remove your ~/.ICEauthority file. I had that problem before. If that doesn't work, I don't have a clue...

Pathos:
does it start an xterm instead?

_kill__bill:
What happens is I log in, enter password, yadda yadda yadda ... nothing. kdm closes, the xterm that i configured (in ~/.xsession) starts, then nothing happens for about ten seconds when kdm starts again. I'll try removing the ~/.ICEauthority, see what happens.

_kill__bill:
Okay, I tried some stuff, and it got worse.
This is exactly what I do

boot up
log in on tty1
enter "sudo kdm"
the terminal switches to X and starts kdm, which takes forever
I log in on kdm
kdm restarts


for now, i'm just using startkde from the console, but i'd like to get this working
