The problem was in the definition of the environment variable
LD_BIND_NOW within the '/etc/X11/Xsession.d/45xsession' script, which
should be now exactly defined as in the '/usr/bin/startkde' script:

So the following portion must be changed in 45xsession from:
# kdeinit unsets this variable before loading applications.
 LD_BIND_NOW=true kdeinit +kcminit || \
 { xmessage -geometry 500x100 "Could not start kdeinit. Check your
installation."; return 1; }

to:
# kdeinit unsets this variable before loading applications.
LD_BIND_NOW=true kdeinit --new-startup +kcminit_startup
if test $? -ne 0; then
  # Startup error
  echo 'startkde: Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation.'  1>&2
  xmessage -geometry 500x100 "Could not start kdeinit. Check your
installation."
fi
