I have more information. I found that there were multiple copies of kded running (in this case, four copies). The first copy showed in "ps aux" as:
kded [kdeinit] The other three showed as: kded [kdeinit] --new-startup kded [kdeinit] --new-startup kded [kdeinit] --new-startup I killed the three with --new-startup, and my desktop icons immediately returned, most KDE applications started working again (such as Konqueror and KMail), and the KDE shortcut keys immediately started working again. Kaffeine won't work for some reason, but most of my desktop functionality is back. -- Latest Update Breaks KDE https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146453 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
