Maybe you already tried this, but normally when I had problems with
starting KDE/TDE, I would just choose a fail-safe session from KDM. Then
you normally only get an xterm or a konsole. From there I would then run
the startkde/starttde script so all the output would appear in the
terminal as it started up.

An alternative would be to just run an empty X server and use another
terminal (local or maybe ssh) with export DISPLAY=:1 (if you ran X :1)
and run the start script from there.

Normally the problem would be visible as a segfault or something like
that being printed in the terminal.
