Bug 202998

Application that crashed: plasma-desktop
Version of the application: 0.3
KDE Version: 4.3.00 (KDE 4.3.0)
Qt Version: 4.5.2
Operating System: Linux 2.6.30-8-generic i686
Distribution: Ubuntu karmic (development branch)

What I was doing when the application crashed:
After a recent package upgrade and reboot, plasma desktop crashes after login and splash, leaving only a black screen if all applications are minimized.  No panels, widgets, or desktop background available.  Can still navigate via terminal and keyboard fine though.  A similar scenario occurred last time I upgraded a couple of weeks ago and was remedied (for some reason) by downloading the kde debugging packages.  This did not work this time, however.

It should be noted that I also upgraded my onboard RAM, filling an empty slot with a 1GB card (1GB in other slot), just before this software upgrade, but everything was working fine before the post-software-upgrade-reboot.
