KDE: Plasma not starting

[Kelly Miller]

Yeah, I tried removing all the config files (I entirely erased the contents of 
~/.kde.  Twice).  It works under root, but not for any of the users, so I 
suspect the real cause is related to the fact that except for root, all the 
user logins are provided via OpenLDAP, and all the home directories are kept 
on one machine and exported via NFS.  I've played around with the settings on 
both, but I still haven't managed to figure it out, and the odd thing is the 
same settings worked fine with KDE4 on Fedora 9.
