This is the term kdm used.  I assume that my KDE 4.5.4 KDE session did not 
have the same name as the KDE 4.6.0 one.  It was a one time thing (and may be 
specific to my setup).

I would like to point out that my sound never stopped working.  Just a message 
about lost sound cards.

Yes, always the same files (PDF).  I saw on the comments on dot.kde.org for 
the KDE 4.6.1 release that this was a known issue and has been fixed :-).

Yes I saw, my update was before then.

I have also been having crashes with plasma-desktop, related to kevent (or 
kevent was in traceback).  Alas I don't have debug information compiled in and 
thus do not have a proper traceback (or even the cause of the crash).  

I see KDE 4.6.1 is in area51, I'll start an update and see how that goes.
