I'd suggest, you uninstall anything regarding to pulseaudio.

Thank you both, Slavek and Tim. I had tried
re-running apt-get
update and then apt-get dist-upgrade but that did not help. I just
followed Slavek's advice and was surprised to see that packages were
removed rather than upgraded:
root@denise:~# dpkg --configure -a
root@denise:~# aptitude dist-upgrade
The following packages will be REMOVED:
gs{u} kdesdk-scripts-trinity{u} kpilot-trinity{u}
libavahi-compat-libdnssd1{u} libavahi-qt3-dev{u} libdbus-qt-1-1c2{u}
libkjsembed1-trinity{u} libogg-dev-la{u} libpisock9{u}
libpoppler-qt2{u} libsensors3{u} libxxf86misc1{u}
However, it has not fixed the problem. The TDE splash screen appears
stuck on starting system services and, behind it, is an error message
about could not start kdeinit :( What next? Thanks - John
Try to remove from /tmp folders kde-_your_login_ and
ksocket-_your_login_.

Alas, that did not work. I should mention that I had previously
rebooted the system (the advantage of it being test). I removed
the /tmp files/directories pertinent to my ID; that did not work. I
deleted all files in /tmp; that did not work. I deleted all files
in /tmp and rebooted again. That did not work :( Next step?
Would it make sense to uninstall and reinstall TDE? What would be the
best way to do that without deleting my configuration? apt-get remove
kdebase-trinity? Thanks - John

Argh!! Uninstalling and reinstalling did not help. Now I am a bit stuck
- although it is test, it is also a development system and we need to
get back on it! What shall I try next?
I did pick up this error in user.log regarding pulseaudio:
Unable to contact D-Bus:
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed: /usr/bin/dbus-launch
terminated abnormally with the following error: Autolaunch error: X11
initialization failed.
Is there a log file where I can see more details about why kdeinit is
failing? Thanks - John
