This bug affects me and I don't even use KDE, but do use the KDM login manager over GDM because I like it.
A user called doctordruidphd on the Ubuntu forums has given a workaround that I have tested to work on several systems I have that are affected.

cd /etc/init
sudo mv failsafe-x.conf failsafe-x.conf-disable
cd /etc/init.d
sudo mv failsafe-x failsafe-x-disable

No need to downgrade packages(which I like to try and avoid). Seems by my logs that it thinks X is failing when it really isn't. Failsafe mode or "Bulletproof X" is then launched when it shouldn't be, Maybe it's trying to launch it before the appropriate drivers/modules are loaded?
