[kde-linux] Lost panel config and kmenu submenus

[Mark Ness]

I am running FC3. I updated my KDE-3.4 to 3.5.1 using yum with 
 kde-redhat -stable repos. I was having problems with groupupdate so I did it 
 with yum update kde*. (I didn't want to update OO or anything else anyway, 
 JUST KDE desktop). 
 All went well. 
 The next day I did a check-update with kde-redhat and found 3 more packages I 
 might need. 
  PyQt.i386
  PyQt-devel.i386 and 
  redhat-menus.noarch
 after updating these 3 packages, I lost my system settings sub menu with all its 
 apps, I lost the menu editor (rightclick on kmenu, the editor is still there but 
 doesn't work), and I lost the panel (kicker) config options, and I lost the control 
 center. 
 
 I have tried many things and can't remember all of what I tried. 
 I found the kmenuedit executable and replaced the system settings submenu 
 and the only app I could recall being in there was the service manager. the 
 control center->desktop->panel window is empty. I found kcontroedit executable 
 but don't know what to do. 
 
 Any suggestions? I would like to try to "fix" this if I can for the learning 
 experience, but if I need to remove/reinstall KDE I guess I will. 
 I know I can relace the missing menus and apps, but I don't know what they 
 are. I can deal with kmenuedit CLI instead of the rightclick option. I have no 
 idea what to do with the panel config (tadkbar is the only option in the conigure panel dialogue). 
 
 Here is what's left of my kmenu...
  Accessories
  Edutainment
  Games
  Graphics
  Internet
  Office
  Programming
  Sound and Video
  System Tools
    And the newly added nearly empty 
  System Settings (only one app so far which I believe should be under "other").
 Control Center
 
 Thanks for any help
