Hi Folks,

   If you have been using 0.7.1 and tried to do a full upgrade to trunk
you will face a problem as described below. This issue does Not
apply if you use install_belenix.

** Problem Description:
You will find that if you do a full upgrade from BeleniX 0.7.1, all the
fonts will be screwed and text won't be proper etc. That is if you
upgrade using the following command:

spkg upgrade all trunk

then boot into the new BE and try to login as the user you have been
using, you will find that fonts, colors and other desktop settings are
screwed up.

** Root cause:
This happens because an upgrade to trunk replaces KDE3 with KDE4.
However the user that you were using has KDE3 settings that do not
work with KDE4.

** Workaround:
Drop to Command Line Login session from the GUI login screen and
add a new user using the following commands:

pfexec su -
useradd -s /usr/bin/bash -b /export/home -g staff -m -R root -P
"Primary Administrator" newuser

Now you can login as "newuser" and get a properly setup desktop.

Regards,
Moinak.
