KDE 4.6 no clock (Red X - Unknown Widget)
 

I installed the new KDE 4.6 after considering a change from XFCE.

The issue is that I get no clock widget, but instead a red x.

Has anyone else encountered this?

I upgraded from kde -current to ktown 4.6 and I've got the same issue in my taskbar. If I
try to install a clock widget on my desktop I have the same issue there as well.

have a look at the end of the comments here: I think you have to upgrade kdepimlibs and kdepim-runtime.

I have those installed already

Looking for kdepim in package list. Please wait... DONE

The list below shows all packages with name matching "kdepim".

[ installed ] - kdepim-4.4.9-i486-1
[ installed ] - kdepim-runtime-4.4.9-i486-1
[ installed ] - kdepimlibs-4.5.5-i486-2

This is incorrect. You should have installed "kdepimlibs-4.6.0-i486-1alien" instead if you are running KDE 4.6.0. The the two packages that together form the PIM suite are "kdepim" and "kdepim-runtime" and you correctly kept those two at version 4.4.9. But "kdepimlibs" is part of KDE core and not part of the PIM package set.

Ah. Okay. Thanks for your hard work, Eric.

and thanks also for correcting my wrong advice.
