Dear Ralf,
Thank you for your reply.
I have done what you said and successfully installed KDE 3.1.1 with apt-get install.
I must feedback to you that
apt-get install kdebindings
does not work because kdebindings is not recognized as a package. This is just for your information.
The bad thing is that after successful installation of KDE 3.1.1 (no error messages at all) kdm does not work. The Debian splash screen flashes for a few seconds without the login panel: this happens three times in succession. Then the screen defaults to text and I can login to a text only terminal.
When I run startx, I get the KDE 3.1 splash screen and about four flashes of the KDE Crash screen (it flashes so fast that I cannot see what it says). Then, I lose the kpanel and control of the screen. I have to kill the X server and revert to a text only screen.
Indeed, I spent about four hours to remove and re-install from scratch KDE 3.1.1 twice, to no avail. Finally, I had to install gnome and am writing this e-mail using gnome as my desktop and window manager.
Any help or referral to resuscitate KDE 3.1.1 is most appreciated.
