Thanks to all for your help... I've got KDE starting after an xdm login; however, opening applications (emacs, Netscape) are extremely slow in GNOME as well as KDE. In KDE, mouse movement varies between none and extremely time-delayed. I'm guessing I botched some setup file or something and that my problems (except mouse) are not KDE-specific, but if you have any ideas, please let me know. If I can't fix this, I guess I'll have to reinstall debian or something.
