[solved] KDE4 hangs at ksplash

I just installed Arch on my laptop and everything seems to work as it should exept for KDE which seems to hang at startup every time. When a splash screen is set it runs the splash but no desktop wil start. When I use openbox everything works fine also my KDE apps.

I installed the kdebase packages so I should have all requirements.

When looking for a logfile I noticed there is no .kde directory in my user's home. When I copy a backup of my home on Aptosid it still gives me the same result.

The only comparable topics I found on this have to do with libpng and libjpg but these posts are all from 2004, 2007 or 2010.

Does anyone have an idea?

UPDATE:

I managed to get it working by installing kde artwork meta and the plasma widgets meta packages

Re: [solved] KDE4 hangs at ksplash

There are many posts with the same issue, is this the official solution for minimal KDE install?
