I'm using old config file, but not Mandriva, and often have that 
problem. Sometimes it works fine if I sit there moving the mouse around. 
Sometimes it returns to my text login screen, with various error 
messages being displayed about fontconfig or "Bad Window" messages from 
KDE. All in all, I blame the increasingly-faulty quality control of the 
KDE team.
