Thanks for the help.  I reinstalled from the CD the kdelib package as
recommended and everything is working fine.  I greatly appreciate the help.

under
 6.0 but now Kmail will not start and KDE help files are missing.  In
 addition the icons on the KFM viewer are screwed up.  It appears that the
 necessary files to define the icons are missing as well.  I makes me
wonder
 if Linux Mall sent me a beta of 6.1 instead of the final version of 6.1.

This problem has been hitting alot of people lately.  The first thing
you should try is reinstalling the kdelib package from the CDROM.

Does anyone from MandrakeSoft have a clue about why this is happening?
What's wrong with these CDs that people are getting broken installs?
