KDE hangs on Initializing System Services

KDE hangs on Initializing System Services when starting up. This is on a newly installed Debian Etch System with KDE 3.5.5. KDE was working, but started with this problem when I switched my user to automatically log on.

I see potential solutions like this one:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=393751
I think my interface file is already like this solution
Here is mine:
-----------------------------
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth2
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0
iface eth2 inet dhcp

auto eth2

iface eth0 inet dhcp
wireless-essid ActionTec-MyModem
wireless-key #########
--------------------------------

######### is a number which i will not specify for reasons of security
My network is on a NAT. This machine is 192.168.0.2.

If I do a ctrl-alt-backspace when it is stuck, it starts over, but gets stuck again.
It starts up with no problems in Gnome.

What can I do?

try to start kde from runlevel 3 with the command

startx kde >log.txt

afterwards, check log.txt to see what kde is doing while the interface seems to be hanging.

How do I get to runlevel 3?

According to this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runlevel
Debian runlevel 3 comes with GUI, which I am guessing you don't want since your suggested command line includes startx

When i typed it, i was affraid that you might post that ;)

AFAIK in Debian, it is runlevel 2.

But i'm not sure, on another forum, a user can't get to a non grafical interface in debian, except for runlevel 1.

But no worries: if you can't get to a runlevel without a grafical environment, you can use this command:

startx kde -- :1 >log.txt

this will start a second graphical session with kde on port 1.
