That's because of KDE4.
It's unstable as
If you want to stick with kde, install KDE 3 and then some KDE4 packages, so KDE4 apps would work too.
It's a win-win situation.
You should have tried kde 4.0 when it came out, I almost cried using it........4.1 beta I agree is very unstable but still better than 4.0.
I bet it will be stable enough for daily use by the final release though
