Got it. Mostly works nicely.
BUGS
Plasma no longer keeps icon size changes, always resets to
"minimum" (user-configured default?) on start.
Kdm still does not repaint the screen after loading the background. Probably a
one-liner.

I have a logon at kde-apps. How does one report bugs through the bugzilla? I
used to report them using the help menu "report bug".

Unfortunately, the Debian installation does not cater to dual-KDE as posts
here have emphasized. For those of us who managed to set this up, it might
help to leave the xsession desktops alone in the upgrades since nothing
really has changed there anyway. Not really a problem, though, since I can
change the name of the kde3 one instead, huh?
