I run slack current too.  I ran into a similar problem, and my likely 
solution (i.e. it worked for me) involved trying a startx, noting the 
resulting errors, and renaming the problem file to <problem_file.bak>, 
restarting startx with no errors, exiting then typing kdm.  I realize I 
should have troubleshot, but it was obvious that would have taken longer 
than I wanted to spend, and I was lazy at the time.
