All I see is a blank desktop. I can run apps from krunner, but no panels, cashews, plasmoids or right-clicking.<br><br>Backtrace shows nothing. Replacing ~/.kde doesn't help. Logging in as a different user doesn't help<br><br>Has anyone else experienced this? Is it due to a rogue package upgrade?<br><br>Any thoughts on fixing other than reinstalling 8.10?<br><br>TIA<br>Paul<br></div></body></html>
