I borked KDE4. Get black screen now.

Hello All!

Well, looks like I borked KDE4. Basically, all I did was update to the latest version like I have been doing all along.
I am running Debian Unstable. The version I upgraded to was 4:4.0.84-1.
The update seemed to have gone fine. No errors. Nothing removed. Nothing odd.
But when I try and start it now, I get the loading screen. It shows the harddrive and then poof... black screen.
I let it sit for 10-20 minutes but still black screen. I can only see the mouse.
I have to Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to get out of it.

So basically, I came down to looking at the apps that were updated. Anyone see the app that potentually caused the problem?

Now I have already tried removing the .kde and .kde4 folders... doesn't help.
