On my Mandrake 8.2 system all the KDE icons are located in /usr/share/icons. This seems to be the default location where KDE desktop shortcuts look for their associated icons. If you search for kcontrol.png (one of KDE's icons) on your system where does it show up? If it's not found or if it's located somewhere other than /usr/share/icons then there is probably something wrong with the KDE3 packages you installed. Maybe they were not made correctly to work with Mandrake 8.2? What is this Linux Format CD you say KDE3 came with?
I suspect that if the icon location is wrong then other things in KDE3 will be broken too. Perhaps you should try downloading the KDE3 RPMs provided by Mandrake. Here is some discussion about this from the Mandrake Newsletter. New KDE 3.0.1 Packages. Mandrake packages for KDE 3.01 were uploaded to KDE's FTP site on May 30th. Based on mixed results from users, these new packages are only recommended for advanced users who feel comfortable tweaking their system. Be sure to read the following story before installing KDE 3.01: http://www.mandrakeforum.com/article.php?lang=en&sid=2190 I see you CC'd KDE tech support with your question. Could you please repost to EUGLUG what you find out. I'm interested in hearing what the solution is.
