Armin, Thanks for the confirmation and input.
Simply changing LD_BIND_NOW=true start_kdeinit --new-startup +kcminit_startup to LD_BIND_NOW=true start_kdeinit_wrapper --new-startup +kcminit_startup solves the problem, so I think I'll go that route while waiting for ksmserver 3.5.8 to migrate from unstable to testing.
