KDM worked (with screen position all messed up, but it did come up). But when i tried to login for the first time, i got just a message: "Not possible to continue, check your installation.". At this point i fell back to KDE 3.5.8 testing. Now i have no idea what to expect from this, any ideas on when KDE4 will fall at least into unstable?

Actual KDE will be usable around version 4.1 however you can see kde4 packages in updated Debian Sid (kdebase-runtime-bin-kde4). Check Sebastian Kuegler blog for more info about KDE4 - http://vizzzion.org/?blogentry=804 Correct.

So if I keep updating my Sid install, I'll get KDE 4 when the maintainers think it's ready, right? I’m thinking if it isn’t ready for Unstable Debian, it’s too unstable for me.

Did you removed the old kde packages ? The most serious issue I had was with kwrite which was previously (in) the kate package and I had to remove it with dpkg. Also since those packages are in experimental expect them to change frequently. Please attach the apt-get result so we can have more information about your problem.

Both yielded "broken packages" and neither would do the install. I tried this from kubuntu’s repo and from the instructions here. Both yielded “broken packages” and neither would do the install.
