    I'm pretty sure this is s known bug (from sid) and if you are using
    apt-listbugs as part of your installation process you will avoid this "most"
    of the time. ( it is after all, called unstable for a reason:-) If you can
    still log into gnome you have not really damaged your system. Just uninstall
    kde completely and reinstall the individual apps, staying away from the
    'metapackages', there seems always to be bugs in these things anyway, (sorry
    maintainers, fact not criticism) I use the kde-package manager to do all
    this and most of the ime avoid these issues by watching the bug list report
    that pops up prior to installation. I check the bug to see if I want to risk
    it and proceed from there.
    Good Luck!
