I upgraded to kde-4.1.2 by installing the @kdebase-4.1 set and found that the new version isn't working. There seem to be multiple problems with it (although it's possible that they have a common source): - When I start a 'kde-4.1' X session, I see the splash screen and when it finishes, I'm left with a grey checkerboard and a KDE mouse cursor. There are no icons, panels or other interactive elements of any kind. The window manager (kwin) seems to be working though (if I start an application, such as xterm, on this display using another terminal it is operational and the window has all the decorations and is working as expected). - konqueror doesn't work. It displays an info box every few seconds with the following message: "Could not delete file file:///home/spock/.kde4/share/apps/konqueror/autosave/owned_by_1.23.". Deleting this file manually does not help. Trying to browse the hard drive or the web results in a 'Protocol not supported' error message. - The file dialog doesn't seem to work in any kde-4.1 application. If I start kwrite and try to open a file I get a "URL cannot be listed: <path>" error message.

Michal, please take kdebase-4.1 from your world_sets file and run emerge -uDav @kdebase. Unless you want to be tied to kdebase:4.1, you should emerge the non-versioned set. Do you have dolphin, kdebase-kioslaves and libkonq installed? Make sure you're running the latest versions of kdelibs and kdebase-startkde for 4.1 (and 3.5 if you have it).

I had the same problem on one of my machines. It was caused by wrong permissions of the directory /usr/share/kde4. See bug #241890 and bug #239269.
