Hi, don't pretend to be an expert but the simple act of installing
Mandrake 7 had similar effects for me.
In Midnight commander ("mc" from the command line) try checking
whether you have the same files in your root KDE setup as in "me"
home directory. And are they same size? If not copy 'em over and
change the permissions for the lot at one go with something like
chown -R me /home/me/Desktop(or whichever!)
Well, it worked for me........
