Last night I noticed a lot of 4.8.* rpms in updates-testing, so I decided to have go:
sudo yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update "KDE Software Compilation"
Now I find that Kwin crashes on login, leaving me without a window manager, and hence unable even to focus on a console window. Kwin is from kde-workspace-4.8.1-2.fc16.x86_64. The problem occurs even when I rename .kde and try again.
Not seeing that here poc, have all the kde related packages been updated, maybe be worth checking to be sure.
In situations like this I have found yakuake invaluable to get to a konsole.
