Well, I forgot that I don't even have kde installed on my Mandrake 9.2 box. I'm not much of a fan you see. I did get some ideas. First of all, do you have gnome installed on your Mandrake machine? Does the menu work there? From what I understand, Mandrake does some tricky stuff to make sure the menus in gnome and kde are the same, and so you can edit the menus with menudrake (you can find in in the Mandrake Control Center under System). You might try firing menudrake up and see if that gives you any clues or let's you restore them. I don't know, just a thought. I don't know if it had anything to do with the updates. Would a reinstall fix it? Probably, but if there is a less disruptive fix it might be better. On the other hand, I've found it more productive to just do a reinstall instead of spending hours and hours (or days) tracking something like this down. I know, not very hard-core Linux-geek like, but I'm generally interested in getting back to my real work (or something like that), not messing around with this kind of stuff. How to take screen shots? I use The Gimp and do acquire->screenshot. It's pretty easy that way. I think kde lets you hit printscreen like windoze, but I'm not sure.
