i had a similar problem after running nautilus from inside kde -- the result was seeing the gnome wallpaper on my kde-desktop, strange mixture between gnome and kde that i couldn't fix through kde settings (they were all ok and still kde was 'overdrawn'!? by gnome) ... till reinstalling gnome

not a clean solution though

-v-

Another dirty solution: you could delete the ~/.kde folder. On the next start of KDE, it will be set up with the defaults.

And i if i remove the ~/.kde folder what kind of problems will occur now?

I'd run cp -dpR ~/.kde ~/kde-old first. The only risk I can see then is that the links in the ~/.kde folder to stuff in /var/run and /tmp may also need backing up.

Thx a lot what the -dp parameters do?

I have moved the files in a new directory but still the restored theme is not the suses default

In short, they copy links as links (instead of what they point to) and preserve file permissions. From man cp:

Code:

-d     same as --no-dereference --preserve=link

-P, --no-dereference
              never follow symbolic links

-p     same as --preserve=mode,ownership,timestamps

       --preserve[=ATTR_LIST]
              preserve  the specified attributes (default: mode,ownership,timestamps), if possible additional
              attributes: links, all
