This shouldn't be needed as the next apt-get command you issue below has
dependency on this package, and thus auto-installs it.

This command alone aught to give you a full, working kde installation.

Not necessarily needed. Actually for a minimal install, you only need
apt-get install x-window-system-core kdebase kdelibs
But what you have should certainly get you up and running.

Auch.. That sounds bad. kdm is unable to start X because it can't find one of
it's most basic libraries. If you have really installed X using the commands
you say, this should be impossible.
Is there any /var/log/XFree86.0.log
Try having a look through it. Maybe it has a hint to what the problem is.
What version of Debian are you using? If I had a problem like this I would
probably try purging, not just deleting, but purging as you need to get rid
of all config files as well, all of kde and X11, and reinstall when you are
sure everything is clean.

This is normal. It just means kdm is the default display manager, and xdm
knows it..kdm replaces xdm, so..
