Hi all,

I got and installed the Suse 10.3 live CD with kde 4.01 packages.
Then I changed the three relevant KDE repositories in Yast to KDE UNSTABLE, 
and switched off the old repositories. I left the basis repositories on 10.3
(so no FACTORY)

After updating all packages, I got a working installation of KDE4.0.64
(there was only one conflict: kde fourinline, which I did not install)

There is one problem: plasma crashes immediately when the desktop is started 
after I login.
Applications work, but I cannot start plasma.

I have a feeling that this somehow has to do with my switch to the 
repositories, and that it should be working.

I also posted to the kde bug database using the wizard, perhaps this
was not the good thing to do since it might be a Suse-related problem?

Anyhow, thanks for any insights.

Question:
To what extend are the developers interested in my experiences with the KDE4.1 
pre packages? I guess it is not interesting to post bug reports since this is 
a development release?

ps. When I start plasma from the command line I get the following messages:

john linux:~> plasma
Plasma crashed, attempting to automatically recover
KCrash: Application 'plasma' crashing...

crashed.

Perhaps the problem is caused by my update from standard kde4.0 pakages to the 
packages from the UNSTABLE repository?
