Are you logging in as root when you get this desktop? It sounds like the deliberately crippled root desktop.
Using a gui with root is bad. Mandrake tries to emphasis this by disabling the useful features, and turning off warnings for things like eg. deleting your whole install.
If you're not, weird. You can turn the desktop mouse menues back on, via the KDE Control Centre.
