In my case, I started having problems with kdm. I don't know why, but I have to install kde-standard so all the conflicts in aptitude can be resolved. After that, I was delighted with the stability and beauty of my new KDE4 Desktop (I have tried other versions of KDE 4 and all was problems).
I had the same problem with Kaboom, It didn't make a full backup of my kde directory and reports problems with some files, but I don't investigate the problem because I supposed (correctly) that the files wasn't important for me. Until now, I only have to problems with KDE4, the first problem was that Kmail show the date of all my mail as "Unknow". Inside the mail, I can see the correct date, but in the folder, not. I solved that problem creating another temporary folder where I moved all my mail, and return back all the mails to the original folder, after that, the date was showed ok. The second problem was with the crash of Yakuake that was solved with the new version of that program that was available in testing yesterday. Finally, I want to thank you very much to the Debian KDE 4 packaging team and to the KDE development team itself for your hard and good work with KDE.
