the cleanest way is simply to backup what you want to keep, and do a standard install, choosing " existing partitions " in the partitioning part.
It's about 20 minutes of work

Open Synaptic click on Sections
Go to Graphical Desktop/KDE4 remove everything
Go to Graphical Desktop/KDE

install kdebase and kdelibs

log out and press alt control delete to reboot.


Thanks to everyone who donates. You keep the servers running.

Ouch, if I had anythng to add, I would add it, but all I can say is..... Ouch!  Testers should anticipate such things, else they would not be testing it.  I hope you wake up in  the recovery room, all well.
