[SOLVED] Recover or reinstall corrupted KDE?

[Bald Brick]

For Chromium: does it help to remove the .chromium in your home-dir? (attention: backup of your bookmarks, preferences, ....?)
=> or try it in a different user account (see if it does start up there)

Good idea, but note that Chromium's local configuration files are in ~/.config/chromium (not in ~/.chromium).

It worked! I renamed .config/chromium to chromium_old, started Chromium and it opened up fine. So renamed chromium_old back to chromium again, restarted Chromium, and it's there with all my settings intact. I don't quite understand why, but it worked  

Thanks again all!

Thanks, wasn't installed on my system anymore -- though it was in another place
