I had the same problem a day or two ago when I updated. I thought
it might have been cause of my computer freezing up during the 
the update which might have been part of it. Anyway once I got a 
driver back I had the same issue. I could login to kde as root but
not user. I tracked it down to the .kde/share/config directory but
not sure which file in it. What I did was delete my user account after
backing it up then recreated it which let me into kde again. I then
logged back in to a terminal and renamed the newer .kde dir brought the
old one back in and rsynced the new .kde/share/config directory back
into it and got most of my kde settings back.
Hope this helps you some
