The problem was that kdelibs5/4:4.0.84-1, which was the last version that was uploaded to experimental, was not upgraded to the latest version in unstable (currently 4:4.0.98+svn833207-1). I did this then manually with apt-get install -t unstable kdelibs5 and all is back to normal now. This also fixed the Could not find the Okular component.-issue I had with okular.

Bug#491752: kde4: No Desktop
First, thanks for putting kde4 in experimental. I hope it is available with Lenny in some way. It's not as stable as some desktops, but a great way to get it into shape would be to have it in the Lenny repos. I got the desktop working again, it was not simple. 1. Letting aptitude handle the upgrade did not work. Same condition. It's important to note, I was attempting to use kdebase, not kdebase-dbg when this happened. Maybe that's a clue that I'm new to running experimental packages? 2. I upgraded by aptitude remove *everything* kde and deleting anything kde-related leftover last night. I also added unstable to sources.list. kdelibs5 (or something like that) wasn't being found in experimental. I then installed kde-minimal using aptitude *after* the kdebase-dbg installation. It seems the update that broke the desktop really messed up the state of KDE4. From my end-user perspective, at this time, there appears to be some differences between the kde4 packages and the -dbg KDE4 packages. There is probably a different bug report to submit, but it was late and I was working quickly Let me know if you have any other questions, otherwise you can close the bug.
