kdebindings is probably not a package that an end-user should install. It is
probably only good enough for testing stuff out (works here :-)

switch to a console and run /etc/init.d/kdm stop; /etc/init.d/kdm start to
cleanly switch off the KDE 2.2 kdm and then start the KDE 3.1 kdm. I've

flawlessly. You may need to make sure with an apt-get dist-upgrade that you
*really* upgraded all packages.
