all system icons missing after fsck

recently I had to fsck which resulted in many things being saved to lost & found. Most of this seems to be from my home directory, including some hidden folders like .kde, but the really problem is that even as root I have no KDE system icons - no panel icons, no desktop icons, no menu icons. When I try to assign one I just have kopete and kwrite in the initial directory.

I've since re-installed a few icon themes so I am at least getting some folders and konqueror icons, but nothing in the control center. And the splash screen is just a flashing block, for lack of a better description.

I updated KDE to 3.5.7 but that didn't help me, thinking that it would have replaced anything missing.

Any suggestions on how do I get them back?

try to create a test user and check if that one has the same problem or not.
If it doesn't, you could try to cleanout the configuration files in your home directory, starting with ~/.local and ~/.kde

thanks for the tips, unfortunately neither one helped me. I'm afraid they are gone.
looks like I'll just have to remove KDE and put it back on, maybe I'll go even with the snapshot.

*edit* I removed KDE and since I'm running Arch Linux I went with KDEmod and the problem has been solved.
