Can't logout of kde 4.8

[Mircea Sava]

Greetings.

The way I see it the culprit clearly is the system upgrade, 
especially if you upgraded to Fedora 16 directly from Fedora 14.
No one seems to know or able to give a straight answer as to 
why, but the accepted wisdom is to upgrade Fedora from one 
release to the next and not jump ahead.
Also there is the issue of the upgrading method, which you 
didn't specify.
Fedora people officially recommend upgrading using preupgrade 
but even that, when used properly, can give faulty results.

Possible fix: backup and nuke your ~/.kde folder then hard 
restart and log in your KDE session.

Peace, and long life!
