Is KDE your default windowmanager, or is it trying to be?  If you didn't
get KDE upgraded all the way and it's your default WM (yes, yes, I know
it's a "desktop environment" and not a WM) or your system thinks it is,
then that might very well be causing these symptoms.

If you decide to re-try this, take a look at /usr/bin/x-window-manager
and see what it points to.  (Actually, it will point to
/etc/alternatives/x-window-manager.  See what *that* points to.)  If you
want to change it, run "update-alternatives --config x-window-manager".
