4.1 white screen?

Ahem, That's what I would have assumed.  I've seen the white screen on most 
4.1 logins, but it is usually replaced by a normal desktop in a few seconds.

However, I've had a variety of odd behaviors w/ 4.1 on a system that has 
3.5.9.

I haven't traced any of the problems, but in general I would say that 4.1 
sometimes behaves badly w/ certain X configurations and it definitely 
interacts with the 3.5 configuration.

I suggest using a minimum xorg.conf file (comment out everything you don't 
absolutely need, which for a single screen config is just about everything).  
What happens?

Rename both ~/.kde and ~/.kde4 and then start kde4.  What happens?

Quit, replace the new ~/.kde4 w/ the saved one and restart kde4.  What 
happens?

Start kde3.  Quit and restart kde4.  What happens?

Restore the saved ~/.kde3. Restart kde4.  What happens?
