Description:
I've upgraded to kde 4.2, and surely it doesn't work ! I start manually x (startx in terminal console and startkde in .xinitrc) and, after the splash sequence, I'm stuck with the arrow cursor, the background and NOTHING ELSE ! If I try to start an application via ALT+F2, the krunner window appears, I can type tye app name, but pressing ENTER has ZERO effect.

This task depends upon
Before starting the new kde4.2 i've moved out of the way the ~/.kde4 directory, so the config was clean.
I've now solved the problem by REMOVING all the kde-related packages and re-installing only kde (no koffice, digikam, etc etc), but this was disappointing, as now I've got to reinstall all the packages I need
This is the list of the packages (installed now) obtained with: pacman -Q|grep kde
kde-l10n-it 4.2.0-1
kdeaccessibility 4.2.0-1
kdeadmin 4.2.0-1
kdeartwork 4.2.0-1
kdebase 4.2.0-1
kdebase-runtime 4.2.0-2
kdebase-workspace 4.2.0-2
kdebindings 4.2.0-1
kdeedu 4.2.0-1
kdegames 4.2.0-1
kdegraphics 4.2.0-1
kdelibs 4.2.0-4
kdelibs3 3.5.10-2
kdemultimedia 4.2.0-1
kdenetwork 4.2.0-2
kdepim 4.2.0-1
kdepimlibs 4.2.0-1
kdeplasma-addons 4.2.0-1
kdesdk 4.2.0-1
kdetoys 4.2.0-1
kdeutils 4.2.0-1
kdewebdev 4.2.0-1
As I've said before, at the moment of the update in this list there were also archlinux-themes-kde 1.5-1, kdesvn 1.2.3-1 and kdevelop 3.5.4-1

I've reinstalled many (but not all) of the programs that were removed and everything keeps working.
Don't know...
It seems on certain upgrades from kde 4.1 to 4.2, some packages are missing.
I was at work, so I couldn't take the time to look exactly what packages were missing, but I'm quite sure kdeadmin and kdelibs where among them.
I did a "pacman -S kde", and after a reboot, at least I could do a right click and add the panel/tray/etc. manually. Note that the panel, folder view, taskbar, etc. wasnt restored after the reinstall of kde.
