Oops - my bad.  I did miss that part.  Just read the beginning of the 
post where you show "pacman -Sy" and I assumed that you skipped all the 
uninstalls.  Of course, we all know what happens when we assume ....  :-)

Judging from the rest of your post (and some subsequent posts) it sounds 
like this is some sort of weird conflict between the stock KDE packages 
and the unstable ones.

Apologies for the bad advice (and the pissy tone!)
