Hi
I got the same thing, slow start of X with nvidia causing kdm to abort the start of X.
Blinked screen many times and failed to start X and sometimes I had to try up to ten or more times to get into grapic mode.

I tried different kernels .28 .31-14 .31-15 and nvidia drivers 180 185
and 190 until I found this.

Making the timeout a bit longer in kdm make it work fine.
I found this from Daniel here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=524751

To resolve the problem change or add in the X-*-Core section in /etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc
    [X-*-Core]
    ServerTimeout=120

Hope it helps.
