If i remember correctly during startup of KDE it shows 4 or 5 icons 
representing the stage of the it's startup.
The first one is a hard drive icon, second has to do with adding devices 
i think.

Hunter,
if the icon you got is indeed that harddrive icon, something is worng 
with the setup of KDE.
try creating a new testuser and start kde logged in as the testuser.

If KDE also doesn't start for the new testuser, then something is wrong 
with the kde installation.
