[gentoo-user] KDE 3.4.0 tp 3.4.1. KDE no longer starts

[Robert S <robert.spam.me.senseless@gmail.com>]

I have recently upgraded from kde 3.4.0 to 3.4.1.  I am now unable to
access my kde desktop.  When I go from "startx" or log in from kdm, I
briefly see my desktop and the Panel, then I get the KDE crash
handler, which gives a message along the lines of "The KDE session
manager ksmserver crashed and caused signal 11...".  I get the
following output on the command line:

startkde: Starting up...
kbuildsycoca running...

Can anybody help?  I've tried re-emerging a number of packages
including hal, kdelibs etc.

Looks like a problem with hal maybe??
