I don't use ldap but I have a very similar problem ... When I choose a KDE4 session, the splash appears , the HD icon for 45s, then the Settings icon for 4 or 5 minutes and eventually I get the the kdm blue background with the cursor but that's all... This behavior appeared just the day before the upgrade from 4.1b1 to b2 ...
Additionaly I cannot run an KDE4 app inside KDE3 it crashes Exemple trying to run Kopete : ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /usr/lib/kde4/bin/kopete kopete(6626) KToolInvocation::klauncher: klauncher not running... launching kdeinit kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/kde4/lib/kde4/libexec/klauncher kdeinit4: Launched KLauncher, pid = 6632 result = 0 kdeinit4: opened connection to :0.0 kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/kde4/bin/kded4 kdeinit4: Launched KDED, pid = 6635 result = 0 kdeinit4: Got EXT_EXEC '/usr/lib/kde4/bin/kbuildsycoca4' from launcher. kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/kde4/bin/kbuildsycoca4 kbuildsycoca4 running... kbuildsycoca4(6640) kdemain: Reusing existing ksycoca QBuffer::seek: Invalid pos: 135024968 kopete(6625): Communication problem with "kopete" , it probably crashed.
