I still have the logs in /var/log/installer but they won't help much.
I think, when the (known) /etc/network/interfaces bugs are fixed, the
loopback interface will always come up well and then KDE just works.

However, the question is still open if KDE programs should handle the
"oh, there was a timeout when connecting to 127.0.0.1!" case
differently, like, for example, issuing a warning message telling the
user that 127.0.0.1 is not reachable and therefore KDE is not
guaranteed to work correctly.

I think this is kind of a wishlist bug now (see BTS control lines).
Perhaps reissuing as a whislist bug would have been cleaner, but now
the reason should become more clear. I am sorry if I am doing anything
wrong ;-)

Best
  Stephan
