I forgot to tell the particulars. I have fedora Core 2 that I upgraded KDE to 3.3.1 . I put KDE repositories in my yum.conf to upgrade KDE. I noticed an update for Redhat-menus while running Yumi today so I selected it. Now my menus are wiped out. Gnome is pretty much unusable. When I try to run command line it crashes Gnome panels. Everthing but menus runs in KDE except menus. They are pretty much all gone. Is there a way to rebuild a configuration file? Under applications window it lists no applications. I know they are all there because I can run them from command line in KDE. Could be good time to upgrade to FC3?

It's nice to know I'm not alone. I had exactly the same problem and I was panic stricken. I've reinstalled Linux 5 times over the past few months (I'm learning more each time....).
Fortunately I figured this one out and I came to the same conclusion that you did. My answer was to reinstall the original package...
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/2/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/redhat-menus-1.4.1-1.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh redhat-menus-1.4.1-1.noarch.rpm --force
I was back in business and heaved a huge sight of relief.
