That has been reported last week several times. The new KDE2 packages are
post-2.1, not pure 2.1, and they are work-in-progress. Personnaly I
downgraded to the last pure 2.1 packages and I won't upgrade before the
release of final 2.1.1 (the K menu blinks as you describe, its entries become
unusable, the applets disappear while remaining in memory... it is completely
unusable).
By the way, why do you have old KDE1 packages ? You still need them ? You
really should remove them.
