Hello,
(this is a repeat from my previous report on udev and kde, but as this does not seem to be related to udev, I reposted without the udev stuff).
After I uppgraded rawhide from a couple of weeks ago to rawhide of yesterday. it seems not possible to start kde or gnome as a normal user. Starting kde as root works fine. (note X is running fine. Using failsafe xterm mode keeps X up and running)
startkde: Starting up... DCOP aborting call from 'anonymous-776' to 'kded' startkde: Shutting down... klauncher: Exiting on signal 1 startkde: Running shutdown scripts... startkde: Done.
Starting startkde from the failsafe xterm gives the same error message. I cant find any more info on waht is going wrong. KDE seems to be very silent wheng things go wrong...
I reinstalled the whole kde set, and even went back to kde of FC5test3, but that does not help. Also removing the .kde tree does not help.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
-Marcel

Right, solved it. I needed to remove the fontcache in ~/.rh-fontconfig

I ran into a similar problem updating to FC5t3. Couldn't log in to gnome, tried logging in to the failsafe terminal, trying to start any apps would just segfault.
I didn't have a ~/.rh-fontconfig, however I do have over a thousand fonts in ~/.fonts, sorted into subdirectories. I deleted all the fonts.cache-1 files, and it seems to work now. And now I do have a ~/.rh-fontconfig ...
