Len, How much influence do you think you are seeing from Bluecurve? I'm running a stock 9.0 installation and KDE as my Desktop environment. I also run Mandrake 9.1, and can say that while the two look like siblings, they aren't twins. In RH 8.0, trying to get rid of Bluecurve on a stock install of KDE meant a worthless system (for me, anyway.) RH 9.0 seems to be a little more tolerant, but still not like what I enjoy in Mandrake. So, maybe it is the fact that you installed from from a KDE mirror that you are having these problems? As far as I can tell, I am running KDE without Bluecurve influence. What I am *not* doing is running KDE without *RedHat's* influence. Could this be more what you are complaining about? I live with it, as the choice is to tie my hands up with RedHat's simplest choice, Bluecurve - UGH! <Can we drool for the aidience, kiddies?> I doubt what I did to mine is rocket science by any stretch of the imagination, but if you are interested in what I did to remove as much of the Bluecurve look, just ask me on- or off-list.
