Trying openSuse 11.2 milestone 6. Using gnome desktop it works well. Suse 10.2 works perfectly.

With opensuse 11.2 M6 and using kde 4.3 desktop the system boots and I log in as non-root or root,splash welcome screen completes then screen goes blank except for an arrow cursor. Accessing using <ctl><alt>f4 allows me to see many messages " /usr/bin/kwin --crashes n" where n=1..9 Who should I address this problem to?

I can supply a fuller .xsession-errors file

Are you running the Nvidia display driver? If so did you install it the hard way? If yes to these remember you need to run the install script again to rebuild the driver module for the updated kernel. I had a near identical symptom (Blank screen after logging in), after first try it would only boot to a command line screen. logged in as root and ran SAX2 to change to the Vesa driver, Booted as a user and followed the instructions for rebuilding (installing the hard way). I did not look at error messages. Now all works fine. This was with milestone M6-8.5-default this past weekend.
