uninstalled VNC with rpmdrake. When I try to install it again, get the message that it is already installed. But I can't find the icon anywhere in KDE. And when I type vncserver in console, nothing happens.
1 mandrake box server
1 win98 box client with VNC installed and running
How come?
Doesn't KDE make an icon automatically when program is installed?
Not normally. Some programs are KDE integrated, so they will automatically add themselves to the system menu (not necessarily your own user menu - that depends on your preferences, I think) but I've never known a program automatically add an icon to your desktop, and I wouldn't really want them to.

I think your problem may be a corrupted RPM database (VNC was uninstalled but not removed from the database). As root, type

rpm --rebuilddb

That _might_ fix it.
