[Bug 494027] [NEW] After upgrade to KDE 4.4 beta in Lucid, no KDE applications will start.

[Michael Marley]

Public bug reported:

I recently upgraded my Lucid test box and downloaded the KDE 4.4 beta
packages.  However, after I have done this, all KDE applications refuse
to start.  When the system boots, instead of displaying KDM, it just
sits there with a spinning cursor.  If I switch to a VT, stop KDM, and
start X manually with xinit, an xterm window comes up.  If I attempt to
launch any KDE application with that terminal, it chews on the HDD for
just a second and then sits there doing nothing until I kill it.  No
output is produced on the console or in the logs.  Some of the apps I
have tried are kwin, dolphin, konsole, kate, and systemsettings.  All
have the above behavior.  Applications that use only Qt, however, such
as qtconfig and speedcrunch, work properly.

** Affects: kde4libs (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Critical
         Status: Confirmed
