This morning I performed a dist-upgrade going from 3.1.4 to 3.2, (in sid). I then noticed kde did not start from kdm but rather dumped me into twm. This I now know is simply due to kdm not defaulting to kde startup. Later while exploring 3.2 I attempted to delete a set of icons in kcontrol and immediately lost all icons on the desktop, applications, and panel. I tried a number of things including removing kde and reinstalling but to no avail. I did not purge the kde installation as I did not want to lose bookmarks, filter rules etc.
Any thoughts on how to get my icons back would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Paul Winkler
