I had actually selected KDE session once using the old 3.1 version, because I
wanted to see what would happen. It automatically selected kde from then on,
but after upgrading, that setting was forgotten.

Now you are playing devils advocate. It's not exactly the same. If you got a
KDE session you wouldn't be liable to think that something was wrong. Getting
just a blue screen with a window that has no decorations at all (are you sure
that's twm, there was no window borders!), caused me to think my system was
seriously broken.
