I'll try to summarize quickly: kde-full was installed on a newishly installed wheezy OS.
When I rebooted I got a KDM login and was then dropped into an X session with only a terminal emulator and black backdrop. No icons, panels or etc. Further no menus produced by clicking any mouse buttons. I could run other apps but then they would be plastered up into the top right corner covering the terminal ... and both would have the title bar just out of reach beyond the top screen boundary so they could not be moved around. At that point I uninstalled kde-full. Rebooted into console and reinstalled kde-full That is where I am at now and once again a reboot ends in the same sorry mess as before, and described above. I see many broken packages when running `aptitude search ^kde|grep ^i' I will in line that information at the end.
