gui login problem

[uteck]

If it does then remove it again, but since removing it the first time
did not solve the problem I think it may have been something else
causing it.  It's up to you if you feel like exploring what the cause
was.

If you have lots of bookmarks in konqueror and passwords in kwallet,
then you can just copy the settings for them.  Thoughs are the two
things that I usually backup since I can reproduce everything else in
a fresh KDE session.
