KDE Keyboard tool location changed


Hi all,
today I discover a weird problem on my Mandriva 2008 box.I decided to try drak3d,which required compiz utilities.Ok,I installed them,give it a try,didn't like it and removed the packages.I even deleted all files,containing compiz in their names to make sure it is fully uninstalled.Fine,but on my next restart my KDE Keyboard Tool(the flag showing which keyboard layout I am using) changed its location from lower right corner(right next to the clock) to upper left corner.I want to put it back next to the clock,but I don't know how.If I close-open it it goes in the proper position,but on next reboot change again to the upper corner.

Any ideas?

There really was no need to remove the packages. Did you switch your desktop back from compiz before removing it?

Check that compiz is working, then open your Mandriva Control Centre using the Configure your computer icon or by doing Alt+F2 then type mcc and click run.

Go to Hardware--> 3d, select No desktop effects and follow the onscreen instructions.

If that doesn't fix the problem you can reset your desktop by deleting your hidden .kde folder (you will lose any customised desktop settings) then log out and back in again.
