KDE 3.5 messed up! [solved]

[jesnow]

I have been having sysem crashes that seem to be caused by KDE, at least it seems to be the konqueror process that allocates all of memory over the space of a few days and then wedges if I don't restart KDE. It may be related to plugins, may not. I wish konqueror would keep better tabs on what resources plugins are using and kill them automatically if they run away. I've had particular problems with flash lately.

Anyway:

After one of these episodes, I have lost many of the icons that belong to KDE -- the home folder icon in the panel for example is replaced by the generic applicaiton "gear", no icon at all appears for folders, and in the Configure KDE Panel dialog, 4 of the five icons have a square red frame replacing where the icon should be. There may be more things busted, but kde seems to still be running ok for the moment.

I'm not sure what the problem is, but how can I restore the status quo ante?

I already deleted my .kde3.5 folder, no change.

Cheers,

Jon.

I don't know why KDE did that, but maybe you could try:

Please post the results of emerge --info.

Thanks

Blessed be!
