What did I do wrong?

I just did a 'downgrade' from Flidas to Belenos and now I can't get behind the login screen. My login is accepted (I get an 'invalid password, please try again' message when I enter a wrong one) but I am just directed to the same login screen.
I have been using Flidas for a while and while I like it and think it is quite stable, I lack some menus and features. hence I wanted to 'downgrade' to Belenos. What I actually did was to (re-) install Belenos from a live usb. I kept my home and my swap partitions while I formatted the partition on which Flidas was installed, and installed Belenos on it.
My best itiot shot is, that while upgrading is no problem regarding configuration files, 'downgrading' might.
Now I am stuck with the login screen. What did I do wrong and how can I solve this?
I've encountered that kind of problem in debian if my storage disk for home is 0 bytes free. Maybe you can chroot and login to root to add or change user password?
Can you log in a terminal? One of those you get by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 or Ctrl+Alt+F2 or ... or Ctrl+Alt+F6 at the graphical login screen. If so, it must be a problem with the keyboard layout in the graphical session.
If not, do you know GRUB's password? If so, you can edit the boot line with the "e" key, add the "single" option and then directly boot into a terminal, where 'passwd USER_NAME' (substitute "USER_NAME" by your actual login) will allow to define a new password.
If you do not know GRUB's password, you can 'chroot' from a live system and then use 'passwd' as above.
Thanks.
I am still puzzled but haven't had time to try your suggestions. I re-installed Flidas, backed up my /home and re-re-installed Belenos.
