The problem is kde (-package), that seams to be a fact. My situation: I have 
kdm as only display manager, it is started by the init scripts and it says 
ok. But it does not start anything. When I call it once again, I get the 
login manager, but can't login. When I call startx, kde starts like it 
should. But if I close it and start it again, the system (kde and/or x) 
hangs. I have to reboot to start X again. 

Until now I tried the testing and the unstable tree. (I saw this behaviour of 
kde now at least 3 times in the list, seams critical to me).
