What is the output of "apt-cache policy kdebase-workspace"? I think this is very likely a problem with plasma being at one version while libplasma is at another. (A version mismatch) An upgrade should probably fix this, unless you're running amd64 where the build servers are running behind. Thanks.

Having a similar problem after upgrading today:

apt-cache policy kdebase-workspace
kdebase-workspace:
  Installiert: 4:4.1.96-0ubuntu1

[quantenemitter (quantenemitter)]

The latest upgrade fixed this issue (in my case).

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

Yeah, this was most likely a version mismatch or caused by a binary-incompatible plasmoid that hadn't been updated.
