Thank you for your advises, Andy.

I went to konqueror, settings, 'administrador de archivos' (I guess 'file 
management') and found all the lists of folders. But trying to open one of 
them, the same message appeared again: KDEInit can't launch ...

Then I went to the main K-menu, to 'buscar archivos/carpetas' (search 
folders/files) and searching in a folder e.g. *.ps, I found all the 
documents, but I only can 'save as' them. But if I do, then I again can't 
open the folder where I had put them ...

Is there may be a solution through the 'recovery mode' version (since there my 
password as root doesn't work, using the kdesu konqueror or similar)? (In the 
normal full version my root passord works)
