[newbie] No icons in KDE 3.1

[robin]

I'm sorry if this was dealt with when KDE 3.1 came out, but after 
trawling through the archives for a while, I haven't found anything. 
(That reminds me to plead once again for people to start a new thread 
when the topic changes - it's a minor irritation when I'm reading my 
mail, but a major PITA when searching the archives.)

I've just installed KDE 3.1 from Texstar's RPMs. Most everything works 
OK, except that I have no icons and my wallpapers don't show up.  It 
looks almost like the background is  appearing on top of the desktop. 
Even if I delete .kde and start from scratch, I can't get icons by 
dragging from the menu, and right-clicking the desktop does nothing.  Is 
there something different about KDE 3.1 I should know about, or 
something else I should have installed (or alternately, uninstalled)?

(who foolishly upgraded KDE just before noticing that Mdk 9.1 is due out 
soon)
