First, if kde stops starting really at this line you can comment out 
this line and go on.

If you like to know what the reasons are, please try to run the 
following commands by hand an report the results

ls $HOME/.kde/share/config/startupconfig*

-> there should be three files
/home/ralf/share/config/startupconfig
/home/ralf/config/startupconfigfiles
/home/ralf/config/startupconfigkeys

if not try run the following:

cat >$HOME/.kde/share/config/startupconfigkeys <<EOF
kcminputrc Mouse cursorTheme ''
kcminputrc Mouse cursorSize ''
kpersonalizerrc General FirstLogin true
ksplashrc KSplash Theme Default
kcmrandrrc Display ApplyOnStartup false
kcmrandrrc [Screen0]
kcmrandrrc [Screen1]
kcmrandrrc [Screen2]
kcmrandrrc [Screen3]
EOF

kstartupconfig || echo $?

There should be printed a value of zero


--> now the file $HOME/.kde/share/config/startupconfig should be there


cat $HOME/.kde/share/config/startupconfig


-> there shoule be content


If you take a look by yourself into the source to see what happens, see
