Ok, so you are using KDE, and you have lost the icons from your desktop and KMenu, I gather. You say the rpms are installed, right? Did you use urpmq or urpmi? Not that it matters, but urpmq was built for asking if something is installed. What you need to do is add apps to your Kmenu, then they will be available for the Panel. So, in K(Star)/Settings/Menu Updating Tool, hit Scan, and programs will appear, the ones you check the box of, will be installed on the KMenu. If you want to do it manually, then you can right click the KMenu (Star) button, and choose "Menu Editor". Rob -- Linux User #183693 http://counter.li.org/
