[kde-freebsd] KDE broke after general package upgrade (Fbsd 10.0)

Hello all:

 I recently upgraded packages on my 10.0 AMD64 sytem (pkg upgrade). Afterwards,
 xorg started up normally and could be used, but KDE wouldn't run. Among the
 things I've tried:

 - Check .xinitrc: "#exec /usr/local/bin/startkde"
 - completely deleting ~/.kde4
 completely re-installing KDE4:  "pkg install -f x11/kde4"

 now xorg is still ok and "startx" results in a white screen that simply says:

 "Uh-oh. Something went wrong. Log out and try again." Of course I can't
 actually log out so I connect via ssh and reboot.

 Running KDM and logging in just jumps to a terminal window after logging in.

 Any ideas where to continue troubleshooting?

 Thanks
