OK, I did a rebuild of both the system and the root menus from MenuDrake and now KControl seems to be working again - except for the fact that I still don't have screen savers which was the whole reason for the upgrade in the first place. I'll log into the machine locally tonight and see if the rest of the KDE environment has returned to normal...
Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.

As a result of my efforts, KDE's KControl is now totally broken. When I try to launch it, I get the following spit out to the console: No K menu group with X-KDE-BaseGroup=settings found ! Defaulting to Settings After which, Kcontrol comes up without any plugins. A similar error happens when I try to configure Konqueror: WARNING: No K menu group with X-KDE-BaseGroup=settings found ! Defaulting to Settings/ kcontrol: ERROR: Module filebehavior not found! kcontrol: ERROR: Module fileappearance not found! kcontrol: ERROR: Module filepreviews not found! kcontrol: ERROR: Module filetypes not found! kcontrol: ERROR: Module khtml_behavior not found! kcontrol: ERROR: Module khtml_java_js not found! kcontrol: ERROR: Module khtml_fonts not found! kcontrol: ERROR: Module ebrowsing not found! kcontrol: ERROR: Module kcmhistory not found! kcontrol: ERROR: Module cookies not found! kcontrol: ERROR: Module cache not found! kcontrol: ERROR: Module proxy not found! kcontrol: ERROR: Module kcmcss not found! kcontrol: ERROR: Module crypto not found! kcontrol: ERROR: Module useragent not found! kcontrol: ERROR: Module khtml_plugins not found! Needless to say, I'm not terribly pleased that a normal bugfix update totally broke my KDE setup when all I really wanted were some screensavers :) Doing a quick Google search turned up the error message, but nothing helpful about what to do about it. I've rm -rf'd my .kde directory to no use. I seem to recall (now, not before I started the upgrade) that someone on this list had a similar problem. Does this ring any bells? Has anyone upgraded and found themselves dead in the water? If this is a common problem, does Mandrake know about this? How do I fix it? Help! I really don't want to reinstall from scratch. Thanks in advance David
