No desktop ufter update in kdemod

Hello,
After many weeks yesterday I made an update of the system.  After the update I have no desktop. If I start the programs via "Run" they are working, but I don't have no wallpaper (the desktop is black), no menu bar, no nothing. What should I do? What info do I have to provide to be more specific. Thank you.

Re: No desktop ufter update in kdemod

It's probably plasma-desktop command crashing.
Try to launch it from konsole and watch the output.
Also check that:
/usr/share/autostart/plasma-desktop.desktop exists.

When runing plasma-desktop from terminal, I get some errors. Because the output is long I post it here: http://pastebin.com/m18cd2cae . Please check and see if you can spot the problem. Thanks

oh well:
"plasma-desktop(3617): Communication problem with  "plasma-desktop" , it probably crashed."

Try to reset your plasma desktop by removing:
$HOME/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktoprc

...Or with another user.
