Bug#585824: KDE no longer works

[Gary Dale <garydale@rogers.com>]

Package: kde
Version: kde-desktop
Severity: grave
Tags: squeeze
Justification: renders package unusable

After installing the latest upgrades to Squeeze, I have lost my KDE 
desktop. While KDE starts, I have no taskbar nor menus. The desktop does 
not respond to clicks or mouse moves of any kind.

I did note that at least one application (iceweasel) seems to have 
started so it looks like the session is being restored. However I can't 
do anything.

I tried creating a new user account and logging in to it, but again 
failed to get a working KDE desktop. I also tried purging and 
reinstalling but with no luck there either.

I have temporarily switched to Gnome to be able to use my computer.
