I have the kde, etc., from unstable on an otherwise woody system (works 
wonderfully, btw).  There was a previous version on unstable that caused the 
same behavior on my system that you describe.  It was fixed rather quickly 
though, by a dpkg -P kdm followed by apt-get -t unstable install kdm.  

My experience is that the kde on unstable holds together lots better than 
what may be in woody as not all updated packages migrate at the same time, 
and that Ivan (the maintainer) keeps it totally compatible with woody.

Perhaps, if it's still causing problems ask on the debian-kde list.
