Does the following patch work? 

A better solution might be to start kdesktop later because it is a pain to 
start kdesktop while half of the environment isn't set up. And we now have 
this cute splash screen to entertain the user while he/she is waiting for 
kdesktop to show up.

I'll look into this.

Cheers,
Waldo
