Re: kde fully broken in debian/testing

Yes, I can confirm exactly the same things, you describe below.
However, after the last update, KDE started now, but I had to configure KDE
again to my needs (i.e. adding my widgets or reconfiguring the taskbar).
I also needed to download and install "oxygen" profile, to get my look and feel
back, what I used at KDE4.
Just about 2 hours work.
Now it is running 95 percent fine, but I still dare not to update my other
computers as they are production systems.
I will wait and test with my second notebook, how things will improve.
And a note for everyone: I know and accept that KDE5 is new and things are not
running without problems at the beginning. This is fully ok for me! So do not
see my mails as critism, but more as a very friendly feedback.
Thank you all for your great work!
