I don't think I overwrote anything, I think I just added to the KDE that I have. At least that was my intention. I was trying to avoid getting any betas or anything too new or weird. My understanding was that I just needed to get a couple of additional packages in order to have the ability to install different KDE themes. What I did was this: I put the following repository in /etc/yum.repos.d/: http://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/redhat/kde-redhat.repo Then I did the following commands: |[root at localhost dave]# rpm --import http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/gpg-pubkey-ff6382fa-3e1ab2ca| |[root at localhost dave]# yum install kde qt arts kdelibs kdebase gtk+ gtk2 redhat-artwork ||[root at localhost dave]# || yum update I got these instructions from: http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/ Could any of this been the cause of the problem?
