To be honest I can't remeber where I saw that the gstreamer stuff caused that a
KDE session didn't start properly. But I'm pretty sure it was related to the
OpenSuse 11.4 distro. I also found a thread at forums.opensuse.org where a user
recomended to disable the Packman repository to solve the same issue with the
ksmserver. I noticed that your problem started after you upgraded to the KDE
4.8 SC but I was using KDE 4.7.2 when the problem occurred. I was convinced
that the ksm server issue can't be related to the 4.8 version. I went through a
/var/log/zypp history to find whether a gstreamer packages were upgraded
recently.Indeed it was true. Then I checked a version of all gstreamer packages
and found that the repos were mixed up. Tried to downgrade to the version in
Update repo, it started to work as expected. Tried to switch to Packman
Tumbleweed repo - still worked. I don't know which gstreamer package causes the
ksm server crash but the phonon-backend-gstreamer-0_10 works well regardless
the repo was used.
