Sorry about that didn't realize you weren't running venus.

Not sure off hand what the util you did use was, but if need be you can
always give it "a slap in the face" and manualy edit your
(~/.xinitrc || ~/.Xclients) startup files.

This could be the source of the problem, is this a link, a script, or a
binary? KDE usualy starts with a script file "startkde" which starts all
the seperate pieces. this script will be located in either
a) /opt/kde/startkde
b) /usr/bin/startkde
depending on your Mandrake version.

if /usr/X11R6/bin/kde is a link, is should most likely point to the
startkde script

if /usr/X11R6/bin/kde is a script, make sure it's calling startkde from
the correct location

if it's a binary exec rpm -qf /usr/X11R6/bin/kde and let me know what it
says
