I had major problems with my upgrade.

After rebooting having installed kde 3.5.7-1, I would get
the graphical 
login screen, but once I logged in I was left with the blue
background 
and nothing else. The mouse moved and I could use ctrl alt
F1 .. F6 and 
ctrl alt backspace but I could not get the desktop loading.

I finally returned to the desktop by some difficult to
reproduce method 
of copying the /var/run/xauth/* file to ~/.Xauthority
attempting to 
login via VT7 and then in a console session setting DISPLAY
to ":0.0" 
and running startkde.

I'm at a real loss on how to go about finding the actual
problem and
fixing things properly. Any suggestions?

(I'm copying this into Debian bug #425526, where I reported
this).

Arthur.
