Public bug reported: I recently upgraded my Lucid test box and downloaded the KDE 4.4 beta packages. However, after I have done this, all KDE applications refuse to start. When the system boots, instead of displaying KDM, it just sits there with a spinning cursor. If I switch to a VT, stop KDM, and start X manually with xinit, an xterm window comes up. If I attempt to launch any KDE application with that terminal, it chews on the HDD for just a second and then sits there doing nothing until I kill it. No output is produced on the console or in the logs. Some of the apps I have tried are kwin, dolphin, konsole, kate, and systemsettings. All have the above behavior. Applications that use only Qt, however, such as qtconfig and speedcrunch, work properly.
