Our installation was very specific as we do not use KDM and run inside a VServer. In our case, we set up the preferences and then installed kde-trinity I believe. We did not install desktop-base-trinity because we did not want to pull in all the hardwre interacting portions in the VServer. We copied ~/.kde to ~/.trinity so that we had a backout path, renamed /usr/bin/startkde and then created a symbolic link named /usr/bin/startkde to the trinity startkde script. We then restarted the vserver. That worked pretty cleanly for us although I believe I needed to do an apt-get -f to bring in all the support libraries.
