Thanks guys, but all of this doesn't work for me- even with all dependencies taken care of. Tex has replaced the 5 kdebase rpms as of today, to fix these problems. My problems remained after reinstalling kde 3.1 from Mandrake cds, and even after a complete reinstall 0f 9.1 and kde, except for /home. I did remove /home/.kde, but now something leftover from the 3.1.2 attempts keeps overwriting the /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc file on reboot (see the thread on pclinuxonline if you want the details). Nothing has solved this on my box, even without any kde 3.1.2 stuff installed- I think I would need to reformat /home partition and reinstall, then install the new kde 3.1.2 kdebase fix (may27) from Texstar. I'll try it without formating /home first, just to see if I'm lucky, and can avoid having to copy all my data to another medium. Tex is pretty sure the new rpms will solve the problem.
