Hi Group.  My first posting to this group after not finding the answer
easily elsewhere.  The subject line says it all and my lack of a clue
shows me to be a newbie.  Here is more info for completeness:

Problem - after a power blackout (I really must plug in that UPS, damn)
I rebooted and went through a ext3 file system check okay but found that
my KDE menus were completely shot (read: almost completely absent) and
so was my little icons on the taskbar.  The desktop icons were okay but
somewhat rearranged.    

Question 1:  Could someone point me to the file(s) that control these
two parts of the window manager behaviour so I might look to do bit of
hacking to bring it all back again?

Question 2:  Could I hope to find a backup of these files created by the
system (I know I should have backed up, but haven't for quite a while)?

Question 3:  Would making these files read-only, after getting the
desktop and menus right, prevent this corruption of those files in the
future? 

System Description:  RH8 using KDE 3 

Excuse:  I know that I can be accused of not RTFM, but I don't have an
extra day to spare to wade through it all if someone can just steer me
in the right direction first of all.  TIA

Regards, Gavin
