Default KDE 4.1.1 Upadate Checkerboard Problem

After updating to the newest version of KDE 4.1.1, when I try to log into KDE 4.1.1 the computer goes through the splash screen but rather than bringing up the desktop it just brings up a light gray and white checkerboard background, no panels or plasmoids, nothing.

I had this problem on a computer with a NVidia card after reinstalling the driver everything seemed to work. No such luck on my ATI laptop. After the install I deleted the .kde4 folder from my home directory to see if that helped the problem. X loads fine and does not freeze the desktop is responsive but there is nothing there. I would like to include a screenshot but it won't let me do that. If I hit alt+f2 it brings up the desktop search but it does not do anything, no results are displayed.

I don't really even know where to begin or what information to give to help diagnose the issue. Any help is appreciated
