Here comes another advise from the many you have received.
I would remove all KDE and reinstall again and I would remove it orderly. I
think that measure is not a drastric one, altough it seems it is, because:
- You will keep your ~/.kde which contains all your personal
settings.
- You do not need to download all packages again provided you do not
"apt-get update" since the last time you did and you did not "apt-get clean",
because they are already in /var/cache/apt/archives.
I think I found your same problem in one machine when moving from potato to
woody + KDE 2.2.1 some time ago, and the way I sorted it out was to remove
all KDE and reinstall from unstable (directly to KDE 2.2.1 not upgrade from
KDE 2.1.1).
Hope that helps,
