--- Comment #1 from Jekyll Wu <adaptee at gmail.com> ---
"It appears that the script with a request for password stops KDE fully loading
and thus crashes KDE."

Well, if a script needs to ask password then it needs to run in a terminal
emulator to be able to interact with users.  Your autostart script ("cron start
and aptitude update/full-upgrade") is run silenetly(without invoking a terminal
emulator), and that is the problem.

Solution: do not do it. Or, write something like "xterm -e
command-need-interaction"
