Actually, when I brought back X4, I found it was a problem with the xserver-xfree86 configuration. When I specified the correct, neomagic chipset, KDE started working just fine.
Thanks to all for your help. I think I'm good to go. Marc J.

Downgrading X will cause you more problems. Since you know that WindowMaker works, you can be assured that debugging KDE will buy you some progress.
