Bug#310637: kdelibs-bin: kde will not start

[Richard Bradshaw <bradshaw@mcs.anl.gov>]

Package: kdelibs-bin
Version: 4:3.3.2-6
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


I just noticed that when logining into kde from gdm. the screen turns
all white and hangs. The underlying issue is the following.

from .xsession-errors

startkde: Starting up...
kdeinit: Shutting down running client.

from ps

kdeinit < defunct >

I don't know when this truely started due to the fact that I rarely
restart my session but it certainly is unusable.
