Why are there so many things not working for me, or missing when using KDE in Mandrake?
After using GNOME I decided to change over to KDE, but it seems a bit strange.
My K Menu has the exact same contents as from GNOME - is this normal?
I need to get into the K Control Center...is this the same as the Mandrake Control Center? I can't get into either from KDE. I created a Preferences panel, but if I click the 'Control Center' icon it doesn't do anything.
I have no 'Run' option from the K Menu - this used to be there though.
If I go to the 'Menu Editor' then nothing happens.

What is wrong with it!! :P

Perhaps you are missing some of the KDE base packages.

Compare what KDE rpm packages are installed to those on your installation cd(s).

rpm -qa | grep kde > kderpm.list

Review kderpm.list and compare to the cd's.
