I have upgraded to Karolina's new 3.1.0+rel kde debs on my Debian/Sid system. With this upgrade, along came a problem with kdm. It seems there is a memory leak. The kdm startup hangs in a loop and becomes very large in memory size; never finishing. It is running the "kdm_greet" process. I just enter "/etc/init.d/kdm stop" to end it, and I can then enter kde from startkde within xinit. Everything else seems OK from here.
