Just for the records, I went through many steps including : _fiddling with consolekit, learned a lot but no result regarding kdm. _purging a lot of stuff before reinstalling it, including all kde (I mean all, every inch of it...). _rebuilding my entire xorg.conf, emptying it, etc... _moving all ~/.kde* stuff out of the way, creating a new user too. _restoring old kde3.5 system partition, doing the upgrade to kde4 again
No results, at this point I got a little fed up with this whole thing (apologies to my Zen master). Since I don't like to build on mud, I ended up reinstalling from scratch a brand new Squeeze system from latest netinstall iso, doing the dpkg "--get-selection" magic and copying back only the minimum configuration files I needed. I used the same /home, xorg.conf, graphic driver than previously, but it worked. This system had never been reinstalled since Etch was testing, it's a bit sad that the "windows way" was needed just to get kdm working, but the system was probably dragging a lot of cruft anyway. I didn't investigate any further, if I get really bored some day I might try too pull back and forth a few kde directories to see what was causing the problem, but it was definitely something system-wide. Now I have a somehow fully working KDE4 with kdm, the fonts are shitty on the login screen despite turning anti-aliasing on in systemsettings, but that's another story.
