after update (synaptic): plasma doesn't start after login - white screen
then after deleting ~/.kde/share/config/plasmarc and ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-appletsrc and restart it started, but kdebase-workspace crashed

sorry, my english isn't very well - i'm from germany... :-)

update: i think this is the reason: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/multirows+task+manager?content=83177

This crash should be fixed in more recent versions of KDE, but if its that taskmanager plasmoid causing it you'd probably want to report the crash to the creator of the plasmoid. Thanks, and have a nice day.
