I didn't think to use the 4 version.  I did re-emerge kdesktop and that
fixed the K menu thingy.  I built a @set that will rebuild everything
KDE 3.5 and I'm about to start that.  If that fails, I'll unmerge KDE
3.5 and reinstall fresh, after removing the kde directory of course. 

I may log into KDE 4 and just see what happens after sending this
message.  Maybe that will help somehow.
