With GNOME rename the directory /home/<yourlogin>/.kde to something 
like /home/<yourlogin>/.kde.bak to get a fresh KDE environment. Then 
login to KDE and check if the problem is still there. If everything is 
OK, there is a problem with some configuration of the previous KDE 
environment. Now, if everything works, search for important things in the 
old directory (now .kde.bak) and move them to the new directory (.kde). 
E.g. in /home/<yourlogin>/.kde.bak/share/apps/kmail you can find your old 
mail (if you are using kmail).
