Mandrake 9.0 Upgrade To KDE 3.1

Problem: Lost desktop icons , can't change background

Issue: Probably didnt download all of the Texstar rpms.

Good answer by Texstar:
"Boot into gnome and remove previous kde and rename your .kde in your home
directory to .kde-old then urmpi:

libqt3.1
arts
libarts
kdelibs
kdelibs-common
kdebase
kdebase-servicemenu
kdebase-nsplugins
mandrake-mime-0.3.1
xinitrc-2.4.4-70

This will get you a basic kde desktop.Log out of gnome and log into kde.
From here you can add the rest of the rpms such as kdenetwork, kdeadmin,
kdemultimedia etc.

These rpms were built on a stock Mandrake 9.0 install so there are no funny
or wierd libraries to contend with.

Goodluck,
Texstar"
