Happened to me too, I just restarted the desktop and all appears to be well.

I just posted on this thread that I do an image before applying any updates. I'm wondering...when you rsync back (if you have problems with updates)...do you switch to single-user mode or boot off from CD in order to execute rsync?

sigh I wish I'd known about the KDE4.4 problems... pisses me off that stuff that should have been better tested was pushed out broken!

---- you should use Windows or Macintosh because those OS's never push out any broken updates. ;-) --

Did you update to KDE 4.4? If so, check recent postings on the Fedora KDE list. There are some problems with akonadi. See https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde

WTF is up with KMail? Ever since I installed a bunch of updates this morning, KMail started having problems. I got a brilliant idea and decided to see if restarting KMail would solve the problem. Well, it didn't. It caused more problems. Now I can't send *anything* and there's a message on my system (at home -- logged into it from remote) stating "starting akonadi server." Now WTF is that and why is it not starting???
