Package: kde4
Version: 1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Starting kde4, either from its /etc/init.d/kdm or from a failsafe session
running /usr/bin/startkde brings up a blue background then a series of
crashes:
kcminit (from kdm)
krunner (so no desktop)
plasma (so no panels)
kget (maybe because no panels)
knotify (repeatedly--I subsequently moved this out of the way)

Get the old kmail, functions OK.
Get a sporadically visible kmix icon, will tooltip the volume sometimes.

Can do nothing else but but end the session, either by exiting the console
in the failsafe session of killing kdm.

Note: With the supplied kdmrc path, a very ugly error message appears when
starting or stopping kdm:
Old kde does not end with /share/config, this can wreck havoc.
Replacing the path with one including this text eliminates the message.
Havoc was not caused.

Ok, situation is now very different with KDE 4.1 pre-release (this bug was
filed against KDE 4.0)
