I had this problem.  Basically, after around bash 2.0, bash reads the
startup files (.profile, etc.) differently.  See the INVOCATION section
of the man page.

For me, this meant KDEDIR and the PATH were no longer getting set
correctly.

Depending on how your system is set up, there may be a file in 
your home directory called .xdm-errors or xdm-errors that will give
you a better idea of what's going on (assuming you're using xdm).
