KDE 4.2 desktop problem

I upgraded to KDE 4.2 - I removed .kde4 and logged in. On my first
desktop, everything works just fine. But my other desktops just show a
black screen except for the kicker and panel. No right-clicking works on
these desktops. How do I fix this?

you might be missing the desktopthemes package from factory desktop

double check all packages have updated or even in some cases rolled
back

you can run yast from CLI

go su and type

yast

I do have this package installed. It’s only on my first
desktop/workspace that themes work - I just get a black screen on the
other three.

I think you have linked activities with virtual desktops.
Look at -plasmarc- , it’s -kde4/share/config- if you have
perVirtualDesktopViews=true, if yes try to delete it.

Thanks! That worked. It was set to true in my
/etc/kde4/share/config/plasmarc - I reset it to false, then ran

Code:

kquitapp plasma; plasma

and got the destop on all workspaces.
