Same for sddm.
Somehow some init script is set to lightdm and it will revert to that, 
no matter what I set as default dm.
If default display set to lightdm it starts, but does not fully boot 
to the desktop.
My system is badly borked, I have to resort to startx startkde, no dm 
will work.

Can somebody help?



I had to remove lightdm then install desktop-kde-task. Removing lightdm 
caused a few KDE items to be removed, including the desktop task, but 
reinstalling it fixed everything. KDE is working again.

Hehe, also just made a dist-upgrade on testing.
It took me one reboot und two /etc/init.d/kdm stop/start to get the KDE 
desktop alive.

You could try 'apt-get install kde-full', I recetly made this and it pulled 
several packages in that were missing.

Good luck !
