By any chance, did you install a package called "desktop-base" during your last upgrade? I'm not certain that this is the correct package name, but I recall installing a package that caused kdm to ignore the kdmrc file and read, instead, a file installed in the /etc/default directory. After installing it a couple of times I finally learned to avoid it.
