Ideas:
1. Edit /etc/fstab to make all your mounts (except /) noauto.
2. Reboot from scratch. Does KDE come up OK now?
3. Mount one of your vfat partitions manually.
4. Use a kfm window to look at this partition.
5. If OK, repeat 3 & 4 on the next vfat partition.
6. If KDE freezes delete any .directory files you find in the
first-level subdirectories of that vfat partition.
Just a guess, Roger!
