kdm.log is generated by kdm, if you don't use it, then you don't get the log,
if you used it had been located in /var/log too.

Next thing that comes to my mind is that someone/something has changed file
privileges on some of the files belonging to kdelibs (or any other of the core
kde packages), or maybe qt.

Not sure if deb can manage to check the installed files and see if all of them
are the same sa when you installed them (this you can do with rpm). In owrst
case, uninstall all KDE packages and reinstall them.
