           Summary: KDE splash screen fails
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.7
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: cs at kainaw.com


Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.3) 
OS:                Linux

After logging in, the splash screen loads the first three icons - ending with
the globe. It fails to continue. There is no drive activity. There is no
message in the logs. Eventually it shows a crash alert, but it cannot be filed
because it requires a user/pass and the keyboard is unresponsive. I tried to
copy/paste letters from the help text with the mouse, but there is no @ in the
help text.

This happens in both KDE and KDE failsafe. It happens on all accounts
(including root) and with a new account that has not .kde folder. So, it is not
a simple plasma config error.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Attempt to login to KDE

Actual Results:  
KDE fails to load after showing the globe.

Expected Results:  
KDE should load.

This appears to be the result of one of the latest KDE library updates. It
started after the latest yum update.
