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.
