I got the same problem yesterday when the light went out in my neighborhood.
How do I solve this?

While copying a file from my dos partition KDE locked up so tightly that I
had to do a hard reset to regain control.  Many many fixes were applied to
my file system  during the reboot.  When X started it brought me up to a KDE
sign-on applet instead of the normal Mandrake one.  There were no options
and no way to shutdown.  I enter KDE just fine but when I click on X to
shutdown I end up back at the KDE sign-on applet and the only thing I can do
is sign back on.  To shutdown I do a ctl-alt-f1 and shutdown from there.
Can anyone help me fix whatever got destroyed?

CesarI ended up reinstalling from scratch.  But, the more times you
install the more familiar you get with it.  I figure I might graduate to
become an 'expert newbie' by the time I've performed my 100th install (-:
