After more hours than I like to think about without X, found a warning in:

Commenting out the BackingStore option fixed my problem with KDE 4.1.2
crashing on logging in.
Also I was finally successful in using the latest version of HAL, so
that was not the problem.
The only other gotcha I'm looking into is that KDE 3.5.10 recently
disappeared on my system, leaving just KDE 4.1.2 available.
HTH,
