Sorry, but I wasn't able to Login to a new session even with this Procedure. don't understand whats wrong with it.

When i use the following command

ctrl+alt+F2 xinit /usr/bin/startkde -:1

That's

xinit /usr/bin/startkde -- :1

I get error messages like

...

unable to open display cannot connect to xserver and stuff like that.

Moreover, thought the following command would do.

ctrl+alt+f2 xinit /usr/bin/kdm -:1

...

fatal server error server is already active for display 0

if this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.x0-lock and start again.

Not 100% sure on this one, but don't think you can run more than 1 kdm. I presume you're in runlevel 5 with a display manager already running on :0.0
