Bug Description
Running kubuntu 12.04 with backports enabled. After updating from kde 4.10.1 to 4.10.2 I get the following error on login:
unable to create io-slave, error loading kde-desktop
Anything depending on io-slave, eg dolphin refuses to run. As a result, the desktop is pretty much non-functional although it does load. Tried creating a new account and got the same error.

Restored from backup and reran the update to kde 4.10.2 from muon-update while logged into a blackbox session and got the same result. Restored from a backup again and ran the update a third time from a terminal in a blackbox session with kde not running and no kde applications loaded using apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade and the update went through without error. Logged into kde 4.10.2 after the update and everything now seems fine - no more io-slave error. Apparently, there was a problem with doing this update with kde running or with certain kde libs loaded. Updating from a terminal with kde not running and no kde applications running fixed the problem.
