Dunno how to explain that.
You must be as fallible as I am.
I had problems with KDE4.0 :-/
I'm wondering if your settings imported badly or something or something.
along the way I completely wiped out everything to do with KDE3. Maybe
that helps.
Try this.
Create a brand new account, one that _never_ had anything to do with
KDE3. Reboot etc, log in to the new account. Its going to have the
default settings, which obviously are not what you want to end up with,
but we now have a clean baseline to work from.
Write down every adjustment you make to this new account's config, and
do it in terms of the new account, so if it says "Activity" or "applets"
or "widgets" or "pager" or "System Tray" or "Task manager" or
"Application Launcher" or "panel", use the KDE4 terminology, not what
you think it was under KDE3.
If its an icon you'll find it in /usr/share/icons :-)
If its not there then its not an icon, is it?
If you want, I'll work with you, step by step, configuring things.
You may want to set up some mechanism for taking backup snapshots (and
being able to restore them) of the ~/.kde4/ for this account.
Perhaps the first thing to do is take a snapshot of the new screen so as
to be able to point at things :-) ksnapshot or kgrab - did you know
about that one?

How I managed to miss koffice is even harder to explain.
I went through the KDE list line by line, and still,
somehow, missed it.
Dunno how to explain that.

Once again, I'm not "bitching" or complaining. I'm
simply trying to rebuild the cozy servicable system I
had under 3.5, and reporting on my experience. I'm not
expecting help, but I appreciate help when it is kindly
offered. Thank you for directing me to the above
programs.
