My Icons took a vacation
Hey, Im running Mandrake 9.1, and everythings been great. I have no problems with anything but my icons. I've had Drake for about 1 week. In KDE, My icons are gone! In Mozilla, my icons are there, but in Konqueror, they're not. The icons on my panel are gone as well, all of them but Mozilla. On my desktop, they're all gone but the, "Welcome" icon.
Please hlep me, thanks.

Are you running as root? Dont, it's crippled like that so you dont. Use the user account it tries to make you create at the install time.

Ok, weird. Did you have the icons and then suddenly they're gone?
Do you remember installing or removing any software just before this, or messing with the KDE Look and Feel options?

Try going back into kcontrol and select the default theme and apply, or push the defaults button and then apply. I think you may have selected an incomplete icon theme, the default icons should still be about.
