KDE has Gone KAPLOWIE !!!!!!!!

[Raymond Cantwell]

Hey all,
It seems that my KDE has gone the way of the Dodo. I powered down and 
when i rebooted KDE came up but none of the icon or configuration 
changes that i have been running were there anymore. So i switch to 
Gnome to see if that worked. It was going strong, but any app associated 
with KDE will not open and i have used them in Gnome before. Any 
suggestions ?
BTW, I am running Mandrake 8.2.
