OK, I will give it a go.
Unfortunately my sacrificial machine which I update to the latest of sid
every morning is currently doing all kind of bad things after the upgrade.
When I did the upgrade it would not automatically install kdebase-data
and so I tried to install it manually. That said it would remove most of
kde4 so, being a sacrificial machine I let it. I then reinstalled kde4 and
it kept on crashing when it started up. ksmserver was aparently dying,
so I deleted .kde/share/config/ksmserver and it now comes up. I had
one or two old applets (such as kcpumon and knetworkmon or whatever
they were called and I guess that one or other of those was causing it
grief).
Anyway not it comes up, but when I try to start anything, even konsole,
it dies a horrible death, painting nasty striped on my vt1-6 consoles so
that I can not even log on there. I suppose it might be that kaboom
did not migrate something correctly, so the next thing I guess I will
try is renaming .kde to something else (not .kde4) and trying that to
see if it is simply an old configuration option that is causing the problem.
