I successfully got the key for Slávek Banko's

use with Jessie. I then installed tde-trinity -- a total of 503

When the login manager appeared, after selecting TDE as my
session type I was able to log in as my user. The default
flash screen appeared with seven icons across the bottom. The
first four were highlighted briefly.
When the fifth one, “Loading the desktop”, appeared the icon
flashed for 50 seconds, then the flash screen disappeared,
leaving only the original blue screen with blotches of white of
various shapes, the Debian swirl in red and the cursor –
nothing else. From this point I could do nothing else.
What I i supposed to do now? Was something was missed in the
installation?
I think it must be a bug. I have had the same thing happen.
So far, if I get into a virtual console, log in as root and do
# init 6
and login again when the login screen reappears, it boots in
properly.
It didn't happen before I reinstalled. That was on pre-release
Jessie.
All less frustrating solutions gladly welcomed.

Unfortunately, it's still the same bug.
I'm still not discovered what leads to deadlock:
I'm using this:
1) Ctrl+Alt+F1 for switch to the text console
2) killall -9 kdesktop
3) switch back to Xorg
4) and then try to start kdesktop again from console
