Hi ,

I recently installed KDE GUI the latest version overwriting what comes with the Fedora Install.
I installed all the packages as a root user. Now after installation there are 2 issues.

a). When i log in as root then my KDE desktop has all the new features including icons and so on. However when i log in as a normal user of the system say by userid radsy90 i still see the old KDE desktop with none of the new features. WHat should i do / have done to make sure the same KDE desktop features comes up for all users irrespective of whose logged on.

b). When i did the install i actually did a rpm--force on most of the packages because i received so many conflicts with previously installed packages. Now i try to open a firewall software called KMyFirewall and i get a conflict with some file. The fun part is that i am unable to remove the KMyFIrewall software from my system. When i give rpm-e <package name>, it does not work Gives me the error cannot find package. However rpm -u the same package name says its already installed. I just simply want to totally take off KMyFIrewall from my system and am not able to do it.. Can anybody provide any insights on how to do this ??

Package Name and FIlename are different. If you have a package named "blahblah-5.5.5-2.i386.rpm" the package name is just "blahblah", or if you ignored errors indicating that it was a bad idea and forced two versions of the same package to be installed at the same time, "blahblah-5.5.5-2".

Not sure about the menus though.
