Thanks for the info about the work around. I didn't even think that msec was 
the culprit.

When you first boot into Mandrake KDE or GNOME, you're using the new style 
menu. Not the "What is it?" nor the stock menus. Under the new style menu all 
of the KDE Control Centre entries are kept under Preferences > KDE > 
whatever-the-entries-name-is. This is this way since kcontrol uses those 
.desktop  files to display the various options.

I know how to build RPMs. It's just that the Mandrake KDE spec files are set 
up to take a few build-time options that I don't know how to set up.

Convincing SUN Micro to rebuild JRE/JDK is like trying to convince the douped 
gamers that I live with that Microsoft is NOT the solution.

BTW, anybody here have the srpms for gcc-2.95.3 sitting about? Even though 
it's old, let me know. I really need it and it's libraries for a couple of 
old apps that I've got laying about.
