I do only have KDE on here. The bad thing is, I use kdm for my login

KDE or anything else.
Log into a text console, and start KDE with 'XSESSION=KDE-4 startx'.
Replace KDE-4 with anything from /etc/X11/Sessions/ for other window
managers.
Looking forward to seeing how your upgrade works out.
Not so well, rdiff-backup of /usr crashed, not sure why. I'll try again,
or create a new backup from scratch.

That may have helped if kdm was the only thing broken. I got part way
through the upgrade then had packages that wouldn't build. Portage gave
up on skipping packages and just stopped building. I couldn't get past
that problem so I had to go back to the older KDE. So, kdm was broke
but so was KDE itself. I needed something like Fluxbox that could run
all by itself with nothing related to KDE.
Glad you got backups. ;-)
