    Thanks! I did what you originally suggested and rebooted and now my desktop and panel are gone?
    How I recover my system without reinstalling from DVD?
    I'd recommend the following:
    1. In the login screen press Ctrl+Alt+F6 to get to a text terminal
    2. login
    3. move your old .kde directory out of the way "mv ~/.kde ~/.kde.old"
    4. logout from the terminal "exit"
    5. press Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get back to the graphical login screen
    6. log into kde (kde should recreate a new "clean" .kde)

    You'll lose your user configs (you already lost them, though), but you should get back a "default kde". Once you have confirmed you have your kde back, you can remove the ~/.kde.old directory

      Still a hair off the target

      rm -r ~/.kde/share/config/kate --> rm ~/.kde/share/config/kate*

        Not really. Either will accomplish the same same thing.

          Hi,

          I just had to recreate my custom panel, everything is back to the way it was.
          Funny though that KATE still refuses to put [Save All] in toolbar?
          Guess I should just be happy with it...

            Not really:
            rm -r ~/.kde/share/config/kate
            would remove directory "kate" and all subdirectories/files (but there is no directory
            ~/.kde/share/config/kate and the command does nothing)

            While
            rm ~/.kde/share/config/kate*
            would remove all files that start with "kate" in the directory ~/.kde/share/config

              My sincerest apologies for my 'mistake'. Glad that it wasn't a difficult fix to get things back to normal.

                Can you post the contents of .kde/share/apps/kate/kateui.rc

                  Well, dunce me twice.

                  You are correct. I have to *read* what's written more closely.

                    Hi,

                    It's now working, must have been fixed in a recent update.
                    I have [Save All] in the toolbar now.
