plasma crash

Description of problem:
I have been updating my machine weekly with the latest snapshots of the pre-released kde-4.2.0 without much issues.  Once I installed the final snapshot of 4.2.0, plasma reliably crashes on me on startup.  I will attach the backtrace as a followup.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kdebase-workspace-4.2.0-4.fc10.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot up laptop
2. login from kdm
3. once desktop appears notice kde crash handler for plasma
  
Actual results:
the desktop is useable, just no plasma, which means no sidebar and all the other plasma goodies

Expected results:
plasma loads fine and my desktop is customized to my liking.

Additional info:
I know this is part of the kde-testing.repo.  But I wasn't sure to file this bug, so I thought I would start here.

Addition information:
1. rpm -q kdelibs
2. please attach your 
~/.kde/config/plasmarc
~/.kde/config/plasma-appletsrc

kde-testing repo currently doesn't have -debuginfo pkgs, you may need to fetch (at least): 
kdelibs-debuginfo from
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=106
(corresponding to your kdelibs build)
to get a worthwhile backtrace.

Comment 2 Jaroslav Reznik 2009-01-30 14:22:46 UTC
Could you check your Plasma related packages version? If you have installed them.
rpm -q kdeplasma-addons
rpm -q kde-plasma-quickaccess
rpm -q kde-plasma-runcommand

Comment 7 Don Zickus 2009-01-30 14:54:38 UTC
alright, so now that I know where the plasma config files are, I moved plasmarc and plasma-appletsrc to *.orig and rebooted.  The problem seemed to have gone away.  I guess I had a bad plasmaoid.  :-(

Sorry for the noise.  Thanks again for trying to help so quickly.

now I just need to find a way to get kde to remember my wireless network password.
