Having finished installing what appears to be all the associated kde4
packages, when I now attempt to start kde4 from kdm4, the kde startup
cycle through all the splash screen animations and then drops back to
kdm4. I have looked in syslog and there are no kde messages whatsoever.
How do I debug this issue. Also the kdm4 theme I was using before the
migration, has been replaced since the migration process, why?

regards,
Steve
