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.

Are there other pagers than the default one that appears in a vanilla
kde install?
I see tiny little pager boxes, way to small to show icons. You can
get a list by raising each tiny box, but I'd prefer to see the
icons and therefore know all in one glance rather than having to raise
each tiny box
Running wheezy
On a recently installed kde desktop environment, I'm getting confused
about being prompted when attempting to make certain changes.
I get a prompt that is about authentication. A drop down list says
`Select user', however my user that I'm logged in as is not there, nor
is root.

I'm New to modern kde.
I seem to have altered the desktop in a way I don't really like.

Starting from the default, I tried all those listed there, and saw
nothing that seemed like something I cared about so went back to the
default.

does not appear to be movable or amenable to showing any properties on

I seem to have a rather high percentage of kde pkgs that are listed as
[B]roken by `aptitude'. What can I do to fix that?
Just re-installing the pkgs seems to have no effect on the Broken

They nearly all seem to have the `[A]utomatic' flag too. So I tried

On the main kde menu, I have several icons in the first area

I expected to be able to right click and get the properties of the
icon as one can do in gnome, but that hows other information and
nothing about what the icon is linked to (path wise). How can I get
that information.

I want to change desktop to lxde but also to be rid of all the kde
pkgs now installed.
I suspect one could get into quite a mess by just start `aptitude

procedure to follow so far getting rid of kde?
