lnusertemp is in /opt/kde3/bin but I am trying to start 4.1. Now that
4.1 has gone gold I thought it might be fixed but most of the stuff in
the repository is still marked with the little lock (i.e. should not
be installed) and 4.1 will not start. 3.5 still seems to work
undaunted.

I'm running AMD64 bit machines. Should the factory repository still
have most of the basic libraries locked?

Thanks for any direction.

I have seen lnusertemp related message before. Usually it was some missing or
outdated library.

I have this 2 KDE Factory repositories. Note that it is not openSUSE Factory,
it is openSUSE 11.0 (as you can see):
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Extra-Apps/openSUSE_11.0/
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openSUSE_11.0/

Except phonon package that has missing dependency, there is no locked
packages, and KDE 4 is running.

I'm somewhat careful when deal with KDE4. I like to test new stuff, so I can't
transfer daily setup to KDE4, as it is still changing a lot. That is why:
1) I use another user, to prevent problems in case that KDE3 settings creep in
KDE4. That other user has no KDE3 setup at all.
2) If there is problem, I copy current ~/.kde4 directory to ~/.kde4-001, and
start KDE4 again. This is just to make sure that some old settings from
previous version don't interfere with current.
