Trash is (should be) in ~/Desktop
try moving your ~/Desktop , ~/.kde and  ~/.kderc out out the way
(log out of kde first, and dont delete them)
they login in again, and see what Mandrake gives you as
a default desktop.

Your complete kde user configuration is contained in these
directories/files.

when X starts put
xhost + <localhost>
in what ever script is used to start X.
e.g. ~/.Xclients  
this will be Mandrake-dependent (I dont know what they have changed from RedHat,
if they are "99%" redhat-compatible, this may be the 1%)

for me <localhost> = localhost  (the name of 127.0.0.1)
this lets anyone on localhost use your x display.
see "man xhost"
