You have two or three basic choices from what I understand. 1) Do an upgrade and hope to restore your desktops. 2) Save your data and reinstall. 3) Probably the best if you are able. Determine what is missing or corrupted by starting them in debug mode and reinstalling these packages. In any case you have a messy issue, so be prepared for some hard work. -- jludwig <wralphie@xxxxxxxxxxx>
