try this:

(1)  

if you use xdm, use kdm instead. ( the pam support on XDM seems
broken  )

(2) 

add this line to /etc/pam.d/kde (if you use kdm) and /etc/pam.d/login

session    required     /lib/security/pam_limits.so 

(3)

set the limits in /etc/security/limits.conf

the main one you'll want to set is "as"

(4)

restart
