Hi Mehmet. I've just done a load of upgrades on Debian Sarge/Etch and had the 
same thing. This is with the login screen for KDM, then when logging in I get 
a quite dark screen with the the login into KDE panel, with a big dark swirl 
in the background. I don't suppose this is to much of a problem, as long as 
you can see the login panel, but must admit that it was nicer seeing a nice 
light blue swirly pattern background. This is what I get 
from /etc/kde3/kdm/backgroundrc.

BackgroundMode=Flat
BlendBalance=100
BlendMode=NoBlending
ChangeInterval=60
Color1=0,0,200
Color2=192,192,192
CurrentWallpaper=0
LastChange=0
MinOptimizationDepth=1
MultiWallpaperMode=NoMulti
Pattern=fish
Program=
ReverseBlending=false
UseSHM=false
Wallpaper=debian-kde_default.png
WallpaperList=
WallpaperMode=Scaled

This has happened before, and I fixed it, but can't remember how. I suppose, 
as long as you have the login panel it doesn't matter too much, but it is 
good to have a nice background. If I can find out how to fix this I will post 
you back. Nigel.

BTW. This is on Debian Sarge/Etch with the latest upgrades using aptitude 
dist-upgrade. 
KDE 3.4.2
