I would suggest you de-install KDE.
o Grab the rpms for KDE-1.1.
o With X-Windows NOT running ('init 2'), via Yast, un-install KDE.
o Via Yast, re-install all the QT stuff off the CDs and make sure you have
the qtcompat package included.
o Install the 1.1 rpms via rpm from the command line.
To make it easy on myself, from a temp RPM directory I put all the KDE
rpms in and did a command line program to make it work:
'for i in *.rpm; do if rpm -ivh $i ; then mv $i /tmp ; fi ; done'
and ran it until everything installed. There was one rpm I had to force,
but I don't remember which one.
o init 3 (restart X-Windows).
o Then restart X/KDE.
I hope I got the order correct. It's what I ended up doing after I upgraded
to KDE 1.1 and had some stuff that wouldn't run similar to what you
described.
