Yes, I had the same problem you described, also following a kde upgrade. 
I made the these changes and no longer have the annoyance of the "Could 
not start kdeinit" message. (Although it SEEMS that starting kde may be 
just a little bit slower)

here is the working section of my /opt/kde3/bin/startkde file.
	(note that rather than deleting lines I just commented them out
	 (#####)so I could easily change things back in the future if I want)

	The following starts around line 292

# We set LD_BIND_NOW to increase the efficiency of kdeinit.
# kdeinit unsets this variable before loading applications.
#####LD_BIND_NOW=true kdeinit +kcminit +knotify
kcminit
knotify

No other changes were needed, just commenting out the LD_BIND... line 
and the addition of kcminit and knotify

See ya
