About your kde problems: start "kdesktop" in a terminal, and see what it complains about. In my case, I was missing libXss. A simple pacman -S libxss fixed that.
BTW, I couldn't get evdev to work either .

Re: xorg7 upgrade issues

This is the mouse part from xorg.conf

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

    Identifier  "EvdevMouse"
    Driver      "evdev"
    Option "CorePointer"
#    Option "Protocol"    "IMPS/2"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/input/event1"
    Option "Dev Phys"    "isa0060/serio1/input0"
    Option "Dev Name"    "PS2++ Logitech MX Mouse"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "11 12"
    Option "Buttons"     "12"

It works fine for me.

Re: xorg7 upgrade issues

ok, evdev works now, so the arch wiki should be changed to this settings-sheme.

But PekWM still has graphic errors, here's a screen:

look at the window titles, the menu also has gfx errors at the borders.
It doesnt matter which theme i use, they all have gfx errors.

Do you have 'Load    "extmod"' in your xorg.conf? If not, xshapes (fake transparency of the WM) won't work properly.

Re: xorg7 upgrade issues

any other ideas? problems still exists, and xmms behaves very strange related to the fonts in the playlist and the main window.
something is broken very hard in case of the fonts.

and my special mouse buttons dont work anymore. evdev runs again, but the mousebuttons for "next and prev" in the browser doesnt work anymore.
