Then I think you should pay someone to fix them, or fix them yourself

NO, I have to find out how to fix them, then test the fix, then build a
new CD, .....

Yes - kdm not using kde as the default session. You see, gdm uses kde
as the default session if you install it (gdm that is). Or more like -
gdm honours default x-session-manager. see
ls -l /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager
update-alternatives --list x-session-manager
