I have a similar/the same problem here. Since the update to KDE 3.2 my control bar was blanked out after the update (missing are kmix, clock, kicker, window list, etc.). I did not find a /home/<user name>/.config. How else can I restore my settings.
A lot of other things unfortunately got messed up as well: window decoration, font sizes, konsole settings, icon size. Just to mention a few which I found so far.
Could anybody explain so that I understand what happened for me to chnge things back.
Thanks

Firstly in the /tmp directory did you remove all the directories/files associated with your user name after doing the update and before logging back in. e.g. /tmp/kde-<user>, /tmp/mcop-<user>, /tmp/ksocket-<user> These directories should be removed after you do any major update to KDE for every user on your system. These directories will be recreated on login. To restore all the settings in the panel you have two options. 1) Either hand edit the panel or 2) try renaming your ~/.kde directory to say ~/.kde.old and relog in. You will loose all setting for things like kmail and bookmarks but these can easily copied from the old ~/.kde.old/share/config/whatever to the new ~/.kde All the other settings can be changed using 'control centre' which is now located under kmenu--->Utilities--->Desktop--->Control Center -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
