Can't lock session in KDE

Recent "apt-get dist-upgrade" has caused my KDE desktop unable to lock session. When kdesktop_lock is run, it segfaults. I only know strace so this is the last several lines of strace output:

...
utex(0xb6dcb4fc, FUTEX_WAKE, 2147483647) = 0
futex(0xb738a070, FUTEX_WAKE, 2147483647) = 0
brk(0) = 0x8071000
brk(0x8092000) = 0x8092000
open("/dev/zero", O_RDWR) = 3
mmap2(NULL, 8192, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE, 3, 0) = 0xb7fbc000
close(3) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 397312, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb6024000
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++

I'm using Debian testing/unstable, have tried kdestop 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-2 which is currently in testing, as well as kdestop 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-5 which is now in unstable. Both segfault. Any recommendation on what to do? I don't want to have to go back to stable (KDE 3.3.2!) or even worse, switch to GNOME or other desktop env temporarily...

RE: Can't lock session in KDE

Never mind. I removed some nvidia packages and the segfaults are now gone.
