[newbie] Menus damaged when KDE removed

I installed Gnome and removed KDE, leaving alone my various other windows managers (Blackbox, IceWM, etc.). Fine, but now the start menus in my various windows managers are missing many items. All items are visible in menudrake, but they do not appear in the start menus. I've tried editing

[newbie] Users can't logon under X

My home box was working fine, so of course I had to mess with it. I went through the Software Manager and removed all the packages I (thought I) didn't need. I freed up a lot of disk space, but now users can't log on under X. If a user attempts to log on from the graphical logon window, X appears
