"So why does it take six months to get a one-line change made to a single
web page???"
Hmm well, there's a limited number of eyes looking at bugs and of people fixing things, so patience is a virtue. You did mention you're impatient though. :-)
Then again, it seems the fact that 'kdm' did require manual stopping wasn't actually expected. Perhaps there are other remedies for the issue that may allow dist-upgrades directly from X in the future also for Kubuntu? (Not a huge priority for me, but may be more important from the developers' / other users' point of view.)
