That's a pretty drastic step.... Try this before you
reinstall Linux.
Assuming you're running RedHat (or one of the other
highly-compatible distros) see if you have .Xclients in
your home directory. If you do, see if it looks (basically)
like this:
#!/bin/bash
if [ -e "$HOME/.Xclients-$HOSTNAME$DISPLAY" ]; then
exec $HOME/.Xclients-$HOSTNAME$DISPLAY
else
exec $HOME/.Xclients-default
fi
If not, copy the above into your favorite text editor and
then save it as .Xclients in your home directory. Also, you
may want to have a .Xclients-default file which would look
like this for KDE:
# Created by Red Hat Desktop Switcher
exec startkde
Just create that file above and it should put you back in
KDE.
