I changed the zsh-specific portion of /etc/kde3/kdm/Xsession as follows:

  */zsh)
    [ -z "$ZSH_NAME" ] && exec $SHELL $0 "$@"
    emulate -R zsh
    [ -d /etc/zsh ] && zdir=/etc/zsh || zdir=/etc
    zhome=${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}
    # zshenv is always sourced automatically.
    [ -f $zdir/zprofile ] && . $zdir/zprofile
    [ -f $zhome/.zprofile ] && . $zhome/.zprofile
    [ -f $zdir/zlogin ] && . $zdir/zlogin
    [ -f $zhome/.zlogin ] && . $zhome/.zlogin
    emulate -R sh
    ;;

My change is on the last line. I'm simply asking it to come back to sh emulation
after it's done reading the user's zsh wares. This seems to fix the problem for me.
