Package: kde4
Version: 2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
I've been following kde4-experimental for at least a month now and have had no
issues with upgrades until the last one about a week ago. Desktop does not
start. After logging in, I have a chequered gray/white canvas for a desktop,
but nothing else. I've started a terminal by adding it to the autostart
folder,
but that's all I get. No bar along the bottom, no Desktop, no wallpaper,
nothing...
Only thing I've tried is deleting ~/.kde4 in an attempt to start fresh, but no
luck.

Did you try the spinning that I posted you last time? If so, please let me
know.
And no, not installing -dbg packages is not the problem.

Well, there it is. You should have unstable repos configured if you want
unstable.
I'm closing this bug.
