I installed the RPM's for KDE 2.2.2 to and now i cant get into KDE without the panel disapearing or the desktop icons disapearing. I am in GNOME now..thank god it still works.

Can someone help me get the new KDE running? i tried to upgrade my kde becuase it kept freezing before.

Oh boy! now i've done it! i've sucessfully F'ed up my whole RedHat distro...AGAIN.

Heres what happened after i logged out. It went into a continuious loop of showing the Nvidia logo, and refreshing the monitor. This is after i deleted the KDE files. damnit.

Is there any way i can log in text base, and then launch GNOME? Will i ever be able to get KDE runnin'?

Should i reinstall Linux?

This apparently works for Mandrake for the desktop icon problem. Worth a try for Redhat as Mandrake is Redhat based- but no guarentees.
Make a symlink libpng.so.3 to libpngs.so.2.

Good luck,
