I had this same problem yesterday and saw the error in .xsesion-errors
about assuan. I noticed that logging in worded fine with a new user so
I systematically went through my home directory moving '.' files to a
different directory. In the end it turned out that it was caused by
.gpgme (IIRC) and after deleting that directory it worked again.

I don't even think that it's just KDE breaking as I couldn't log into
XFCE or ICEWM either. Only the 'Failsafe' session (just a terminal
window) worked.
