Description of problem: I installed Fedora 9 Pre-Release (Fedora 8.93 Rawhide), afterwards installed the KDE packages and now try to log into KDE. This does however fail: I can see the KDE 4 screen for a second or two, but the graphics is screwed up, and then the system falls back to the login screen. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): See above. How reproducible: Everytime, just install the current Fedora 9 pre-release in a VirtualBox machine, afterwards install KDE and try to log into it. Additional info: The output of .xsession-errors of such a failed log-in is attached.
