2) Forced update of ALL KDE4 packages to Factory current versions.
Several packages were running incompatible versions after the automated update. You might try the forced update steps first, to see if you can save yourself the hassle of re-configuring your desktop, email, etc.
On a side note: when plasma failed on my install ALT+F2 would pull up the "command line" to launch applications, but nothing would render on-screen. By checking the running processes, I could confirm that the applications were running, but no GUI was available with which to interact. I had to login to an XFCE session as root to solce the problem.
