Is there an environmental/system variable that should point to ~/.kde4 that I should check to see is correct? Andrew

[gentoo-user] Arrh - my KDE look has disappeared
Hi all, Fired up the 'puter last night and instead of a backdrop showing the dog doing something stupid, a task bar, the start button thingy, and a few other bits and pieces, I had the default KDE backdrop. The task bar was on the second screen, the backdrop was the default, there was no start button etc. What's happened?? Obviously KDE has freaked out in some way, but how? Where are the files that configure the look and feel of my desktop kept? I've looked in ~/Desktop and ~/.kde4 and there was nothing there. Any thoughts on the matter greatly appreciated, Andrew
