Thanks for the report.
Due to a bug in CDBS, all recently built KDE modules are rather messed
up (package inter-dependencies are missing). To try to find the
problem, could you:
1) Try another dist-upgrade, since a lot of X bugs have been fixed
lately.
2) Try installing the kde-core meta-package. This will ensure that you
have all of kdebase, etc., installed.
3) Try logging in to a KDE session with a clean, new, user account.
4) If all else fails, try reverting to kdm 3.5.2-1 (available from the
testing archive).
Thanks,
