[disregard...solved]KDE4.2 not working.

Ok, so I installed kde 4.2 (pacman -S kde, pacman -S kde-extragear) to try it out.  I changed my .xinitrc to do "exec startkde"

When I do startx it slowly puts a few icons in the center of the screen, and whenever i click, the whole screen dims to black and there is just a mouse? wth?  I also tried with kdm.  Kdm works, but as soon as i log in i get the same thing as startx.

I'm using Arch x86_64....no clue why this isn't working.

EDIT:  now it's working....i updated the nvidia driver...it hadn't quite been working right for some time and manually updating it solved a few other things and kde works now too...mods feel free to delete
