Beta 4 and OpenSUSE 10.3

I just updated to the latest beta and now I cannot log in to KDE4.
When I put in my credentials, It starts login the process,
shows a brief splash of what I assume is the KDE dev team then goes to an error:

Call to Invsertemp failed (temporary directories full?). Check your installation.

If I click okay on the dialog I get dumped back at login screen.

Need advice, no idea where to start.

I just updated again today to version: 3.95.1-31

and now I get:

Call to lnusertemp failed (temporary directories full?). Check your installation.

Same effect click okay, returns to login prompt.

Again this is on OpenSuSE 10.3.

Any help appreciated.

Additional info, I've exhausted all of the Google threads on this topic.
None of the 'fixes' in those threads have any effect.

Tried:
removing .kde and .kde4 dir

Tried:
cd /home
chown userid:userid -R userid

Tried:
Creating a new user and logging into KDE4 first.

Tried:
logging into KDE4 as root

I have tracked this issue to a section of code in startkde:

lnusertemp='kde4-config --path exe --locate lnusertemp'
if test -z "$lnusertemp"; then
echo 'startkde: ERROR: Could not locate lnusertemo in ''kde4-config --path exe' 1>&2
fi

Further analysis on kde4-config yields a problem.
When run from the shell the command:

kde4-config --path exe --locate lnusertemp

generates the following:

kde4-config: symbol lookup error: kde4-config: undefined symbol: _ZN16KSharedConfigPtrD1Ev

Actually it seems that kde4-config is completely borked for me.
Without it working properly startkde has all sorts of heartburn.

Not sure what happened, but
yesterday I disabled the KDE4 repository I was using:

http://software.opensuse.org/KDE:/KDE4/openSUSE_10.3/

and chose another one:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositorie…/openSUSE_10.3/

Then ran update All available packages and bingo. KDE4 works again. Sweet!
