'Not programming shadow registers' is an informational message. This is
indicated by '(II)' at the beginning of this line in the log file. 
A warning would be '(WW)' and an error '(EE)'.
As this was not the first time that this message was interpreted as
an error message I have changed the code so that this message does
not to appear in the standard logs now.

KDE is known for being slow on startup. Usually it takes around
20 seconds until it is fully operational. However ten minutes seem
to be *extremely* long. It is possible it is waiting for a device or
something. However this has nothing to do with X as you seem to
have no problems getting other desktops to run. 
I'd suggest you ask the KDE folks for further advice as this is the
wrong mailing list to discuss KDE problems.
