Thanks Craig.  I added a comment and put myself on the CC of that bug.  It
described the problem exactly other than  my card is an Opti 16.

I've learned some lessons so I took evasive action before I upgraded...

I moved ~/.kde & ~/.gnome before I upgraded.

I'm quite certain that the problem Tom had with the icons related to
upgrading the existing panel launchers in KDE got foobar. The only
problem that my strategy caused was I had installed OOffice.org-1.01 via
binaries and they didn't appear in the menu's. If you install with the
enclosed rpm's, I'm quite certain that the launcher buttons & menu items
will appear. But I was able to retrieve the OpenOffice.org-1.0 menus
from my backed up files and moved them in to the new setup.

KDE has a fairly easy to use menu editor - right click on the 'redhat'
button to access. Launch buttons in the 'panel' can be added / deleted /
edited real easily by right clicking on them. Reinstalling redhat
because the launch buttons and sound didn't work is windows mentality.

Unfortunately GNOME 2.0 on RH 8 doesn't have the ability to do menu
editing yet and it looked cool so until that problem is remedied, I'm
sticking with KDE.

regarding the sound issue...bugzilla is your friend
