Bug Description
Binary package hint: kdebase
I did a kde4 hardy upgrade to intrepid. In kdm the default option is "use last session". That last session in hardy was kde4 (checked in .dmrc). Now in intrepid there is no such session anymore, its just called "kde" in /usr/share/
This gives a bad expience as the user is thrown back into kdm after some seconds without further explaintaion what is wrong until the user switches the session type manually (to KDE).
It looks like all that is required to fix is a symlink from kde.desktop to kde4.deskotp in /usr/share/

I think the solution is to have kdm verify the session is valid, and if not use the default from kdm. But I need to look further..
