I had a similar problem. Can't remember the details. The config files of
xdm and kdm are not set correctly. Fixed it with an executeable
~/.xsession calling kde2.
There is another problem that xdm/kdm does not process profile and
logout files (bash and etc). Fixed it by calling it from .xsession as
well.
Seems to be a general xdm problem not kde specific.
