The mouse click takes down the login screen. Nothing else is up yet, so you 
only see the black screen. On first login it can take a long time to come up, 
so you might have bailed before it was finished.

However, I do have a bugged logged against KWin [bug 163829], that it won't 
start if I log in from a KDE3 kdm login manager. I haven't seen it recently, 
so maybe it has been fixed. But I am keeping it open a while longer to make 
sure. Perhaps this is what you are seeing if nothing comes up after waiting a 
long time.
