AWESOME !!!!!!!! So far so good. I noticed a couple of icons changed
pics, but other than that everything seems in order. Now I'll take it
for a spin to be sure.

I got all kinds of input elsewhere. Everything from "sounds like your
disk
is hosed" to "reinstall".

Hopefully all is well.

Thank you very much.

After following a few suggestions given I try logging into my user

and startx again. But I still have problems. There are items (icons)
missing and nothing responds to mouse clicks. This does not happen
when I use the root account. X runs good.

Seems that the damage that happen affected your KDE settings, I would
recommend you rename your ~/.kde directory (as root) and then login as
you usual user, this will make you to setup your KDE environment again,
but should work.

It would still be a good idea to run 'badblocks' on your filesystems -
problems like that seldom occur without good reason.
