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.
I assume that yum updated whatever it needed to update. Maybe that's naive.
Not at all, I have been stung by this before so use other methods, or just have Rex's repo's enabled and not updates-testing, usually then yum update is fine :-)
