Amarok crashing with KDE 4.4 [SOLVED]

I've upgraded without any issue to KDE 4.4 (thanks for the great job!) and everything seems to work fine except Amarok, that crashes consistently while trying to start.

Anyone else experiencing this? (I'm using the phonon-xine backend, in case it matters).

EDIT: Solved by renaming the data folder:
mv .kde4/share/apps/amarok .kde4/share/apps/amarok.bak

Same problem here... See http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=90673

Unfortunately, things got worse for me after upgrading the kernel and soprano a few minutes ago, and now kdm lags at log in for a minute, then I get into an all-black workspace....
