I read both lists (and many more) as newsgroups, via gmane's list2news 
service.  It has both lists archived and available via both the news and 
web interfaces.  Since kde.general is alphabetically before kde.linux, I 
read and replied to the .general group/list post first, so when I saw the 
same question posted to .linux as well, I simply referred the poster back 
to the other list, where I had replied.

But as your reply indirectly points out, that leaves other readers of 
this list only a bit in the lurch, so here's a link to the thread in that 
archive (web interface):

Summary of my reply (which isn't a direct answer) there: I'm still on 
kde4, but wonder if it's a service dependency issue (something else 
that's started wants/needs it).  I had a similar problem with akonadi 
still starting after I had switched from kmail after it jumped the akonadi 
shark (4.6/4.7 era).  I never figured out what triggered that, but ended 
up dumping akregator and anything else kdepim related as a result and 
eradicating both it and akonadi from my system.  It can't start if it's 
not installed! =:^)
