I really don't know.  I simply removed the base, libs, and support
package and installed the new ones.  Then upgraded the applications.  I
had a few problems configuring kdm, but I had previously changed this
from the standard RH configuration.  But, I understand that you have (or
had) kdm working OK.

You should have the "qt1x-1.45" package installed and RH had an upgrade
(2.1.94-3) for "glibc" to cure bugs in the original release.  You didn't
say if you used qt-2.2.2 or not but you need to since without it, things
will crash when it tries to use a "*.png" file.

I have no other ideas except that it sounds like a missing or corrupted
library problem.
