Yes, it should be present ;-)
Looks for some of my previous mails, there were already questions on Mandrake 
subject.

good. That's right. 
ALSA (for sound)? initscripts, modutils?
(see details below)

That's really bad.
OK, go with following:
1) uninstall KDE1 (#rpm -e --nodeps kde....)
2) uninstall all from KDE2 RPMs you installed. 

then check:
http://kde2.newmail.ru/kde_install.html
http://kde2.newmail.ru/mandrake.html
Follow necessary links, when you finish everything KDE2 should be working...

and do not forget following:
---------------------------------------
exit KDE, go to console
then
1) cd $HOME
2) cp .kde .kde_copy
3) rm .kde
then restart
KDE2 should rebuild all settings

If you had some settings/savings in KDE2 before, you can then copy it from
backup
---------------------------------------
As you haven't uninstalled KDE1 first, you can have a lot of things mixed. 
Action above should fix it.

Feel free to contact me if you still have problem.
If everything is fixed - fell free as well :-)
