Just reinstalled Gentoo. Boot thru kdm. Works fine, but a lot of X & kde apps
can't find the display and return
No protocol specified
No protocol specified
xprop: unable to open display ':0'
Did I forget to configure something ?

Perhaps these apps are running as another user.
An easy check (not safe for long term use) is to open a terminal
(assuming you can) and type
xhost +
which permits any process to write on the screen.
If this "fixes" it, then you should arrange the processes to run as you.

No, all were launched by the same user.

Doesn't work, too bad:
isba ~ # xhost +
No protocol specified
No protocol specified
xhost: unable to open display ":0"
Thanks for the tip, anyway.
