Still didn't work, and I managed to destroy my setup (virtual desktop names, color scheme, clock settings, custom task bar icons... ). This is just the kind of thing that I expect to avoid when dealing with "stable" code. Sorry, had to vent a little. Just to clarify what I did this time: /etc/init.d/kdm stop mv /home/rguthr/.kde /tmp rm -r /tmp/* dumb, dumb dumb! apt-get remove `cat packages.removed.last.time ` --purge apt-get install `cat packages.removed.last.time` /etc/init.d/kdm start User: rguthr password: ******* verified that "kde2" was chosen. Go! Still no desktop icons, or any thing related to the background, but the rest of the environment functions as it should.
