Been using 10.3 for a while now on my laptop, and installed 11.1 on my
desktop last night.
Installation went well, but I managed to break my shiny new KDE4
desktop within a couple of minutes >:(
I right clicked on the desktop, and looked at the add widgets window, I
added a few, and removed a few, and then the system fell over. I think
it happened after I removed the system tray.
Now the system runs really slow. Like taking over a minute to respond
to a mouse click, nothing on the taskbar seems to work, except for the
start menu.
What have I done?!
I tried a repair install - no luck
I tried what I thought was a fresh install, and the problem is still
there! :’(
Try creating a new user and logging on to see if kde works. If it does,
delete your old home directory or, if you have data in it, delete all
the .kde files in your home directory.
After I finally got Yast to load, the system runs fine. Seems like the
desktop, taskbar, and start menu are all on a go slow, but everything
else is ok.

Yes, but you need to do it with su - superuser. Open Konsole and type
Code:
su
Then go to the original users directory with
Code:
cd /home/<userName>
Rename the .kde4 directory to .kde4old, and leave the superuser mode:
