Description of problem: I have the latest F-11 packages and decided to upgrade my kde to the 4.3 beta2 and now I am left with nothing. No taskbar, no pistachio, no menu when I right-click, nothing but an F-11 wallpaper in the background. :-( A couple of disclosures: yes, I realize 4.3 is in beta and is coming from the kde-unstable repo but I don't know where to report these issues, so I am doing so here. If this is the wrong bugzilla, I apologize. second, 4.2.85 worked for me (work being relative). When I moved from 4.2.85 to 4.2.90 and rebooted everything fell apart. I moved .kde to .kde.bk to start from scratch again but with the same results. What is interesting is when I run startkde from a vnc session. I actually get useful log messages (I don't know where kde normal stores broken start up messages). I have attached them below.

> kdebase-workspace-4.2.85-4.fc11.i586 That's 4.2.85, the other stuff is 4.2.90. You cought kde-redhat unstable in an inconsistent state. It should be fixed now, please upgrade again.
Ah that makes sense. Upgrading now. Will check later when I get home. Thanks.
