Glad to here it was simple aren’t such fixes nice?
A problem I have here is when I go to Appearance Settings.
It goes like this click the drop menu on Picture for a wallpaper,pick
an image in that menu & then all the text in all of the menus vanishes!
Similar problem back in the 4.0 to 4.1 days after 2 versions it was
fixed. This time though it’s simpler just don’t use the drop menu,
doesn’t happen with the browse icon.
Nothing of that happened here and have just updated.
What happened was losing some plasmoids configuration and konqueror and
dolphin icons on the panel.
After setting back the plasmoids they survived a reboot.
What is strange is I can’t find the dolphin element for the panel.

I updated about an hour ago but can’t see any difference.

Had you already done the bigger update earlier in the week? That caused
some problems.
I had to do a new .kde4
I made a note of a fix geoffro posted
The easiest solution is prolly to reset plasma and reconfigure from
scratch.
There’s this magic command that solves almost any problem with plasma:
‘kquitapp plasma && rm ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma* && plasma &’
It may depend what users did with dependency issues when they updated. I
started 4.2 way back and kde4-compiz was an issue. I chose to delete
rather than ignore dependencies. Compiz has worked fine, up to this
recent update.

You obviously know that there is a need to log out and back for changes
to take effect.
So you will likely have to do the fix all of have, it’s up to you to
decide if to go the whole Hog by starting a new .kde4 or just try the
plasma fix

Yes, me too Geoff. Just the native kde4. But when I went to 4.2 back in
beta kde4-compiz was a dependency issue, I chose to delete it rather
than ignore dependencies. Compiz was still installed and had been
working fine without the kde4-compiz - until today. Any previous attempt
to add kde-compiz threw a stack of packages back to 4.1.3 versions.

Yes me knows
What happens often is that every now and then I look if there are
updates of something, even more now that I’m using KDE4.2, if there are
then I update. Since I don’t like rebooting (unless there was a new
kernel that I wanted to update to) and during the update I do other
things, it might take some time until I remember I updated (days even
:P) so there’s probably another update available, and the loop starts
again.
Add to that I read there were problems with some updates and hence I
wasn’t really keen on updating.
Ah, I don’t have compiz-kde4 and it still works.
