Hmmm.  I installed KDE for the first time this last weekend, and it
pretty much works outta the box (including the panel, which I have
immediately auto-hidden :)

What I found interesting after reading your post:

kronstadt:~$ file /usr/bin/startkde 
/usr/bin/startkde: broken symbolic link to /kde
kronstadt:~$

I use kdm (of course), do you?
And this is on potato, with the potato debs from tdyc.  These
shouldn't really change from now on, should they?
