No konqueror

I have upgraded to KDE 2.2 and after rebooting the computer and geting back
into Linux (dual boot) I no can no longer run Konqueror file mgr. or browser.
Do either of these programs have ties to libGL.so, libGL.so.1 or libGL.so.1.2?
I removed them to try to get my nVidia card to work. Trying a trick I get
from Lokigames seems as it should have been harmless.
Mandrake 8.0
XFree86 4.0.3
KDE 2.2

TIA,
John W
