Hmm. I've seen your thread on kde-linux and it looks like something could be
wrong with the 3.5.8 packages of Debian, though I haven't seen any complains
on the debian-kde list.
If I remember correctly the "echo debugging" you did in startkde indicates
that it hangs at starting ksmserver.
Unfortunately this does quite a lot, e.g. starting infrastructure services
(knotify, kded), autostart handling, session restoring, etc.
Can you try modifying startkde so it starts ksmserver directly (without
kwrapper), i.e. just
ksmserver $KDEWM
If it still hangs you could try something like
strace ksmserver $KDEWM 2> /tmp/ksmserver-strace
Cheers,
Kevin
