Help! Killed Gnome by accidentally selecting KDE theme

well that pretty much sums it up. I have both KDE and Gnome installed on my Mandriva 2007 box and when I was looking at the themes, I accidentally clicked on a KDE theme and everything went away except my background. Now when I try to log in to Gnome, the X-server shuts down. KDE runs fine, of course, but I like Gnome. So, how do I change it back to the way it was before, if I can't login to Gnome?

I haven't used gnome in a long time, but I think you should be able to run gconf-editor from within KDE to edit the gnome themes and reset it to something else.

Otherwise, here's a page that might give you an idea of which files to look in to reset your theme to something else.

Thanks for the reply. I'm going to give that a try!
