Hi there. After upgrading to debian jessie happens to me, that instead

Met you by chance someone with such behavior? On internet I found
nothing. I deleted the other users .kde directories. Them where to
log in to the system created a new, but no change. I don't know where
is problem. Thank's for help.

I recently had some major KDE breakage; I finally fired up "aptitude"
and did a search for "kde" ("n" for next instance; visually scan for a
bold entry indicating an installed package, page down, "n", repeat),
deleting anything that looked KDE-ish.
Then did an "aptitude update" followed by an "aptitude dist-upgrade",
then did an "aptitude install task-kde-desktop", and now have a working
KDE again, although it looks considerably different to what I had
previously. (Oh, in the process, I added "unstable" to my apt sources; I
already had "testing".)
I say all this to saythat I suspect there's some major KDE changes that
don't always go well on an upgrade.
You can start a different Desktop Environment (DE) or Window Manager
(WM) just to make sure X itself is working properly(and to give you a
GUI, if you're more comfortable in that environment).
As always, your mileage may vary.
