Nah, but thanks. I've no idea what autoclean does. But the apt-get dist-upgrade is what I did in a terminal after the upgrade program fucked itself.
On reboot, I needed to reconfigure the X server manually, since Linux always, every single time, shits all over itself if you try and upgrade when you aren't using one of its standard graphics drivers (say, because you actually want to use proper ones from Nvidia). Once I did that, I managed to boot into KDE again, where it looks like everything might be working, though it's hard to tell for sure.
