RT,I'm trying to switch to kde from gnome 3,I have installed the latest kde in Arch now(which should be 4.8.4),the following description is what I met when i try to use kde:

1. i can login in using kdm or tty1~tty6 or via another desktop environment(for example,xfce4)

2. however after login,it just shows the kde splash(the disk icon..etc) and then it stops,when i click ,the splash disppears and there is only cursor left.

3. meanwhile, i can't use the keyboard(i.g. Alt+F2),it just doesn't work!

I've searched a lot,I've tried:

1. reinstall nvidia driver

2. disbable compositing

3. remove .kde4 .config .local

4. login as a new user

unfortunately, none of above worked.....

and this video describes exactly what i'm going through.. http://youtu.be/4omyjHD9Zfs
this is what i got from my .xsession-errors:

On a virtual terminal, can you see what processes have started successfully?
It appears that KWin and Plasma Desktop have launched, at least in part.
