KDE locks up at startup if window decorations changed from default.

[Kyle]

After upgrading from 13.10 to 14.04, when I logged in to KDE it locked up after a few seconds of rendering the desktop. I tried logging in a number of times with the same results.

I renamed my .kde directory and I was able to log into KDE again without any problems. As soon as I change the window decorations to anything other than the default (eg. Plastik), KDE locks up again upon logging in.

I have customized my desktop in other ways and they don't pose a problem. The only issue seems to be related to the window decorations.

Hi there!

Thanks for reporting this bug! Your bug seems to be a problem with the KDE program itself, and not with our KDE packages. While we appreciate your issue, it would be better if it was tracked at https://bugs.kde.org, so that the KDE developers can deal with this speedily and have direct communication with you as the reporter for more effective debugging.

Thanks!
