After upgrading to Ubuntu Gutsy, everything appeared to be working just fine. A few days later my KDE Desktop was acting very strangely, It started out as when you would Right-Click a item on the desktop it would lock up the Desktop, so that icons could not be moved, opened, etc. Also i noticed after doing this sometimes the keyboard input would no longer work.
Leaving you will no option at all but to hard boot.

I have searched through my Synaptic Logs for days trying to find any thing removed that should not have been, but everything appears to be in place. My next step of action, was to Re-Install the KDE core and Desktop packages in hopes that they were not upgraded properly when I upgraded to Gutsy since my KDE is a additional Desktop and not my main one.

After Re-installing all the KDE Packages ( core, dev, desktop, etc ) the problem was still here. I checked my xorg.conf file and noticed that when I was playing with the KDE settings manager, it had changed this file to some unusable junk. Luckly I have a backup of my good working file so I, replaced it and atleast KDE will boot now.

After alot of playing, I have found that it appears this bug has something to do with Compiz-Fusion as without that started KDE is now working it appears. Just without my needed extras that I have grown used to having, like the Desktop Cube and the Expose mode.

If anybody has any suggestions, leave a comment and when I do finally get my KDE Desktop working correctly, I explain what I did to fix this problem.
