How to restore a user environment ?
Hi !
I intalled KDE 2 from my Suse 7.1 for PowerPC. I wanted to delete a folder with Konqueror. I was logged as '''--root.The files were moving to the trash when computer crashed -.
So I did a hard reboot. But for the user root, I do not see any more the KDE toobar. More over, the title bars does not appear any more. For the other users, it works OK. How can I restore the user root ?
I would appreciate some help. I am a new linux user.

Hi,
try to delete the .kde Directory in your root dir. (Make backup befor you do this) The next time you log in, KDE will create a new profile. This will perhaps solve your problem.

How to restore a user environment ?
Thanks Dimitri,
I did not find any kde directory in the root directory.
I found a directory called "KDesktop" in "root". I deleted it. When I logged in as "root", this folder was created again. Unfortunately, the task bar and the title bars were still not present.
There is a directory in "/opt/kde2". Is it this one to delete ?
root
Maybe not every files are viewed.
Try this: (as root)
cd /root
rm -r .kde
Maybe not every files are viewed
Yep. By default every file begining with an '.' is a hidden file. You can look at it in konqueror selecting (hmm how's the english expression?) View - 'Show hidden files' (or something similar
Dim
show hidden files
View -> Show hidden files
is right.
Or do it with Midnight commander
