For what it's worth, I've experienced similar weirdness after upgrading from 
RedHat7.2/KDE2.2 to RedHat7.3/KDE3.0.  I suspect that the upgrade path from KDE2.2 to 
3.0 isn't as smooth as it could be.  Perhaps KDE3.0 isn't as mature as it should be?  
I think there was some traffic on the list a few weeks ago regarding similar 
difficulties.  When I find the time, I'm going to try a clean install (not an upgrade) 
of RHL7.3 and expect to get better results than the upgrade.

I'm becoming a big fan of Mandrake 8.2.  I tried MDK8.2/KDE2.2 when it was first 
released and I've found myself using it all the time.

I was under the impression that one had to purchase SuSe and couldn't download ISO's.  
Am I mistaken?  I buy a distro if I'm going to use it regularly, but I like to try it 
out for free first.
