    I used to be able to select KDE or gnome or even fvwm from the login
screen on startup. That capability appears to not be available after my
upgrade. Do I need to do more than the ubuntu upgrade to retain these
options, or is something else broken?

Thanks

  There should be a series of options along the bottom of the screen after  
you’ve clicked on your user name, Language, Keyboard then Session.

  

I had no trouble upgrading to 9.10 but I also lost my Kubuntu. It shows
that all the files are there and KDE is listed in the drop down
"Sessions" menu along with xfrc (sic). I can open ubuntu and the other
OS xfrc but not KDE. I and a friend have been working on that since
9.10 was released. Any hel would be appreciated.

Just to get kde back, try installing kubuntu-desktop or if shows as installed then reinstall it.

sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop 
or if nothing happens or errors show
sudo aptitude reinstall kubuntu-desktop

If none of that helps:

sudo aptitude -f install  (do this a few time especially if you see erors in the output)
Then
sudo dpkg  --configure -a

Hope that fixes you up.
