Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, the problem wasn't that simple. It 
appears to be related to either the DISPLAY environment variable or the X 
authority files.

Stopping my display manager was the first thing I tried, but it was still 
bugging. I didn't say this on my first post, but running `X & DISPLAY=:0; 
startkde' worked just as well as `startx startkde', so the first display was, 
indeed, free for me to use.

Anyway, I guess I now have to find the source for the partition problem. 
Currently, the system works like a charm, to my surprise.

Cheers!
