Erik, Thanks! That was the magic bullet. The addition of the ui_standard file corrected the menu issues completely. And yes, I believe you are right about not completely purging previous versions. I ran into the same scenario trying to upgrade X on a couple Debian machines. It seems that dpkg --remove doesn't do as complete a job as dpkg --purge. It would seem that --remove leaves some scripts/data/info behind that may make subsequent reinstalls skip installing some files from within a package, maybe it thinks they are already there. --purge seems to wipe the slate completely clean. At any rate, KDE 3.0.2 is now working wonderfully. Thanks for your help!
