Your session only lasted less than 10 seconds

Something just broke.

For any user except root, when I log in to an X (or KDE) session, I get the message:

Code:

Your session only lasted less than 10 seconds. If you have not logged out yourself, this could mean there is some installation problem or that you may be out of diskspace. Try logging in with one of the failsafe sessions to see if you can fix this problem.

I've been running FC2 since the week after it came out; no problems. Yesterday I noticed my browser session running extremely slow, so I sudo'ed and emptied the /tmp directory. That might have been a mistake....

I have not located any log information that might indicate the problem, and how to correct it. I can login as root without a problem, can login using ssh (text mode) as any user without a problem.

I've tried refreshing the Xorg packages, to no avail.

Anyone have any ideas on what might be happening, where to look for errors, or how I can recover?

Thanks,
Larry
