Hmmm. hard to know what it might be.  You did try it with root as well?
That would rule out any permission problems.  Also look in the users
directory for any files that start with  .DCOPserver_  and remove them.
it's possible one of these lock files is inhibiting kdeinit.

If you have all the new rpms in a single directory typing:

rpm -Fvh *.rpm

will update all the rpms for which you have older versions already installed.
You will likely find that you have to upgrade many more rpms than just the 
KDE core.
