If anyone can paste their KDE Session file for Sid into an e-mail, I'd
much appreciate it. Mine exists, but GDM is conveniently ignoring it for
some reason.

Hi Joe,
there was already a discussion on the german debian user mailinglist
regarding the same problem.
The problem is that the way gdm handles its session entries has changed.
If you read the changelog for gdm you find further information, why this
was done.
The new entries have to be *.desktop files and reside either in
/etc/dm/Sessions, /etc/X11/Sessions or /usr/share/xsessions/.
So, a simple kde.desktop file could look like this:
=======================
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=XSession
Exec=startkde
TryExec=startkde
Name=KDE
Comment=The K Desktop Environment. A powerful Open Source graphical
desktop environment
========================
Copy this file to one of the locations mentioned above and you're done.
