Today, I committed mortal injury to my desktop (kde) and am unable to boot into kde unless I remove ~/.kde2 directory.

I foolishly (I guess) tried to install the theme ELCIPSE and now the kde desktop hangs just before the control bar is generated. I can kill X with ctrl-alt-bkspc. AND I can open kde by renaming the ~/.kde2 directory.

I know there is somewhere I can edit or delete to get back my desktop.

Please advise. ======================= Patrick Have you looked in your old directory .kde2 for the themes folder? It may be that you can eliminate that and get back your old setup. It may be that the new theme tried installing into the root portion, but if you can rename the /home/.kde2 directory, then quite likely removing a kde config file or available themes will do the trick for you. Hope that makes a little sense to you?
