Not sure I understand.  You wouldn't be getting *any* conflicts if you 
had uninstalled all the stock kde4 packages successfully.  Output from 
the file you uploaded makes clear that you *haven't* uninstalled them.

Problem:
/usr/share/apps/kolourpaint/icons/hicolor/48x48/actions/tool_rect_selection.png 
exists in both 'kdegraphics-kolourpaint' and 'kdegraphics'

Solution:
pacman -Rs kdegraphics


Problem:
/usr/bin/dragon exists in both 'kdemultimedia-dragonplayer' and 
'kdemultimedia'

Solution:
pacman -Rs kdemultimedia


etc.


Then, when you're finished with all that, you then install kde again - 
this time from unstable.


Not sure I understand what the issue is ...
