Aghh... don't do that!  From kdm, choose the Menu button, then Session 
Types, then KDE.  You only need to do this once.  After that, KDE will be 
the default session type.

That was probably unecessary. On several machines I tested kde would not start 
on an upgrade but just selecting kde in kdm as the environment to start fixed 
it. It would seem that some setting was damaged that pointed to the last 
environment you logged into and so just reselecting it fixes it.

Not if you move it do 'mv ~/.kde ~/.kde.sv' instead of deleting it and 
afterwards selectively restore the most important configfiles back to .kde 
(like your kmail config).
Use diff to check if there are important differences between the default new 
and the old files...

hi 
I had to delete my .kde directory in my home directory to make kde start 
again. Unfortunately you lose all your kde setting doing this.
