Pretty curious actually to what it is that you had trouble with. 3.5 may have been working fine, it just needed a little direction. Just depends on how much hair you want to keep. Once you make it yours though...wow.

When the install is complete, you will see $ Afterwards, you will need to assign permissions to kde4 files to actually open the session from the dm.
So I finally got this installed, not sure how to assign permissions to kde4 but as soon as I got in I tried to switch the window manager from compiz to kwin and after doing so the kicker menu was non responsive so I changed back to compiz and it was still non-responsive so I rebooted and now the desktop is very sluggish and I lost all the icons in the lower right corner of the screen. It also initially came up with a crash report aswell

Ok, I must appologize here. Some people have sent me PM's and for the life of me I can't seem to figure out how to reply. When I click on reply and type a message and submit I get told that no recipients have been choosen or added or something to that effect. I thought hitting reply would be the same as hitting reply in an email and it would actually reply to the person who messaged me! Anyhow, seems I have made a mistake and Installed 3.4 LTS not Lite. Anyhow it seem that it's time for me to give up on this KDE install, every time I do so my system breaks and I have to re-install and it's time to live by the code "If it Aint Broke, Don't Fix It"

This might be a bigger problem, as I had written the install on lite for 4.10.1, and last night I ran into the same issues you are describing on 3.5, unfortunately I had to do an apt-get upgrade to the system and you may lose your Mate setup. On my lite install, I could not get session to run without assigning permissions(you would not be in KDE), are you 4.10.1 or 4.10.2?
This is a backport, so when you are running the latest version, the method will change. but I can not be sure, I am having trouble with your image and do not know when you installed.
