Yes, you're right. It seems the problem was that kdm is only recommend
by, and not depended on, by kdebase, so it wasn't upgraded with the
rest of kdebase. Is there any particular reason for this behaviour? I
would expect that if I installed kdebase, I would get all of it.

In 1997 a group of programmers started writing a desktop environment
to fix a travesty they didn't create.  Their program promptly found
its way onto un*x systems everywhere. Today, still opposed by a
software monopolist, they survive as soldiers of fortune.  If you share
their vision, if you know you can help, and if you can connect to
internet, maybe you can join... the K-Team.
