The new one HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED YET. If you got the source code from
CVS, which I am pretty sure you did, you do not have the rpm's from
mandrake. These have NOT been made public as I am still testing and
arranging for bug fixes. They are locked securly away on one of my
machines :-)
Also, the old ones are not being upgraded to the newer ones. All kde
builds in kde2 are a complete re-build from the cvs. I do not just upgrade
packages.

Do an arange icons, the piling in the corner was saved in your last
session. Once you do the "right click --> arange icons" the icons will be
normal. If you log out and back in it is normal.

And if you report this to the packager (me) I will fix it in the next
release. Also, I have not released the rpm's for 1.92 yet so I am not sure
how this statement can be made about the new build. Please give me a
chance to finish my testing and get it out.

Wait until you see 1.92, it's much better.
