What system did you upgrade from? A previous Etch or Sarge?

Usually, on a clean KDE start, there are one file starting with .DCOP and a 
symlink starting with the same prefix in the user's home directory.
The file contains information how to contact the DCOP server, a process 
started during KDE startup (by the kdeinit process)

You could try this:
in case you are using KDM (or any other graphical login), change to a 
different type of login, e.g. failsafe

Then, in this other session, in a terminal, type

kdeinit

This should start the minimum KDE environment and output errors if it can't

Cheers,
Kevin
