Thanks for the screenshot. As I suspected, you are not seeing "KDE"
icons, you are seeing the Bluecurve icon theme which is the default in
RHL9, FC1 and FC2. Bluecurve is a metatheme, it includes window manager
decorations, a widget theme and an icon theme, and there are versions
for both GNOME and KDE. The default is for both GNOME and KDE to use
Bluecurve. So there is nothing wrong with the icons you are seeing.

If you run gnome-theme-manager from a terminal you can change the theme
to one of the default GNOME ones. (There was a bug in FC2 where the menu
entry Preferences -> Theme was missing, but it was fixed with an
update.)

As far as I can tell the only real problem you had was that for some
reason your main menu was messed up (missing entries for applications
you had installed). But after that rpm -Uvh --force gnome* you did you
are probably in a much bigger mess. If you hadn't done that we maybe
could have made some headway toward finding out what the cause of the
problem with your main menu was.

Best, Darren
