OK, finally getting somewhere. I did:
apt-get remove kde kdm
dpkg --force-depends -r xfree86-common xserver-xfree86 xlibs
apt-get autoclean
apt-get install xfree86-common xserver-xfree86 xlibs
apt-get install kde kdm
dpkg-reconfigure kdm
With kdm debugging enabled, I'm now getting an error in
syslog to the effect that "can't start
/urs/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA" I've uninstalled XF86_SVGA and
reconfigured xfree. Manually starting xfree with "startx"
works fine, using xserver-xfree86. I assume that kdm still
trying to use the old server is the result of an error in a
configuration file somewhere. Which configuration file
would cause kdm to use a different server than startx?
