@Jack, there are millions of reasons why X might not start. The one that

Eric,
What do you mean by empty desktop? Is there icons but no taskbars? no
icons or taskbars? no desktop image?
I had a blank taskbar, but all I needed to do was click where I knew
something was and it reappeared.
Try that, if not then its probably a different bug and should be
reported
Upgraded my laptop just now (after downgrading the libc6 packages
yesterday which worked) and xorg no longer crashes on startup, but after

There definitely needs to be a rollback feature, but not one specific to
synaptic (it's not even installed by default in Kubuntu, no?).
It should probably be an option from the recovery menu: roll back
packages since [time|last-successful-boot].
This probably won't happen much to non-alpha/beta
I guess my question, ...is there a way to block that? should have been, How
do I pin the older libraries? I did a search and found this:
Edit /etc/apt/preferences with something like this:
1. Package: ruby
2. Pin: release a=hardy
3. Pin-Priority: 900
Is that what needs to be done?

Locking them in Synaptic will only effect upgrades done through

This also seems to affect KDE/QT programs. KDE would not start when
