Upgrading from RC1 to RC2
Several users have noted on the testing mailing list that KDE is inaccessible after upgrading from RC1 to RC2. It turns out that the KDE 4.6.x cache is incompatible with the newer 4.7.x cache. Fortunately, the fix is an easy one:
Log in using another window manager (Fluxbox will be available in the login screen even if your only installed window manager is KDE), become the superuser, and run the following command:
rm -rf /var/tmp/kdecache-*
You should now be able to login to KDE.
The configuration files also changed in this version of KDE so the PC-BSD desktop wallpaper and icons will be missing. This has been fixed for RC3.
Trackback from your site.

This work round fixed it.
Apart from desktop background and icons there are also a lot of issues with fonts, theme etc.
Hopefully RC3 will be (almost) perfect
Hopefully!
Darn! I spend almost a week figuring out why KDE would not work…and I was thinking it was because of my custom kernel. Thanks for the fix!
