Mine says kdebase-3.2.3-134.4.101mdk - yours, if you have one at all,
might be different but should be in the same format.
On another list you mentioned that you bought the Mandrake CDs last
summer - as 10.1 didn't exist then, are the CDs for 10.0? Because you
now say you're running 10.1 - did you just install 10.0 from the CDs
and then set your urpmi sources for version 10.1? This would account
for the huge volume of "updates" you've been getting, and might also
explain some of the problems you've been having.
Aha. Yes. Oops. Help?

OK Julie, decision time! You have vital parts of Mandrake missing
(Mandrake Control Center) as well as vital parts of KDE. You can go one
of 2 ways:
- Complete reinstall of 10.0 from the CDs (wipe out absolutely
everything!), set urpmi sources for 10.0 and end up with a working,
fully-updated 10.0 system - this is the easy option!
- Continue with 10.1, searching for vital parts and installing them
manually, and tweaking the configuration gradually as you go - this will
be a lot of hard work, but a good "learning experience"!
Have a think, work out how brave you're feeling, and let us know.
You Go Girl!
