Maybe try the 4.2.1 debs for woody from:
deb http://debian.mpe.mpg.de/apt-cacher/people.debian.org/~blade/woody/i386 ./

Does KDM run?
ps -ef | grep kdm
If not try '/etc/init.d/kdm start' for root on the console work.
Check /etc/kde2/kdm/Xserver and check that
the path to the xserver match the one you've chosen
for your own Xfree86 installation (I guess here's the bug ;)
Check
grep ' kdm[' /var/log/syslog
tail -100 /var/log/kdm.log

a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
You discover truth everytime you use it.
