Upgrade of kubuntu to 11.04 from 10.10 using kpackagekit appeared okay, as did the reboot and login from the new panel. Then, instead of seeing my custom background and plasma desktop all I see is the color wash of the Unity background. There is a right button menu in this desktop with a Create Launcher option that allows me to make launchers for konsole, firefox, and ksystemlog. Windows come up, but with Unity window decorations. Sure enough unity-window-decorator is running, but there is no plasma. System logs don't reveal anything obvious that failed. There is a kdm process running and kdeinit4 appears to have tried to start klauncher and kde4, but they are not actually running.
It seems like somehow GNOME and Unity have somehow collided with the KDE environment. Possibly this might be fixed by reinstalling the kubuntu-desktop package? That seems kind of heavy since everything is working which suggests this is a configuration issue possibly with something failing over somewhere along the line.
