 On booting F9 with the recent KDE4.1 update, I get:
 
 A Fatal Error Occurred
 The application Plasma Workspace (plasma) crashed and caused the signal

This is: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=461848
This was reported to us only after 4.1.0 went stable.

 $ plasma
 Plasma crashed, attempting to automatically recover
 plasma(2836): Communication problem with  plasma , it probably
 crashed.
 Error message was:  org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply :  Message
 did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) 
 
 KCrash: Application 'plasma' crashing...
 sock_file=/home/krlux/.kde/socket-localhost.localdomain/kdeinit4__0
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ plasma(2842): Communication problem with
 plasma , it probably crashed.

 Any ideas ?
 
 How does one wipe all the previous desktop settings out ?

before you do that - try this...

as user in konsole...

kquitapp plasma  plasma 

but to answer your question...

ControlAltF1 # to get to a virtual console
login as your normal user account
mv .kde .kde-bak
ControlAltF7 # to get back to graphical login
login as usual - any settings/mail/whatever you need will be in your
$HOME/.kde-bak and you can copy/move back into the newly created
$HOME/.kde directory

That didn't work.

$ kquitapp plasma  plasma 
[1] 4204
$ unknown program name(4205)/: Application plasma could not be found
using service org.kde.plasma and path /MainApplication .

 but to answer your question...

 ControlAltF7 # to get back to graphical login

 $HOME/.kde directory

This worked very well.  I copied .kde-backup/share/apps to my new .kde
directory and I could log in without an error.   It didn't work if I
copied .kde-backup/share though.

I hope this helps someone.

probably had something in ~/.kde/share/config that was a problem

You need to remove ~/.kde/share/config/plasmarc and plasma-appletsrc
