Version:            (using KDE 4.0.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

When I've entered my username and password, KDE 4.0.2 starts with the initialization sequence. After de desktop has been initialized, the startup sequences gets to the big K. But that one never makes it to blinking. The whole system freezes, and the only way to use the computer again is by rebooting (and then using KDE3.5.9). This also happens from a live CD from Ubuntu.
Currently, when I want to start KDE4, I have installed it alongside KDE3.5.9, so I have to choose it explicitely when logging in.
