kde 3.2 -> 3.1.4

[Mitch Wiedemann]

I was having similar trouble, most specifically with the panel freezing 
when I clicked on it.   I've switched back to 3.1.4.  Here's my 
procedure if anyone needs it:

Open the "System Logs" app and go to "RPM Packages" and filter for kde.
Copy the list and print it out. (there are a couple that aren't kde 
packages, so ignore them)
log out (to the GDM login screen)
Ctrl+Alt+F2 to get to a console
As root:
rpm -e --nodeps kde[packagename] (do this for each kde 3.2 package)
Install 3.1.4 from FC1 discs 1 and 2 starting with kdelibs and kdebase.

I can now use my KDE again without going crazy.  I guess I'll wait for a 
later version of KDE to try again.  KDE 3.1.4 was actually fine for me, 
I just got caught up in the 3.2 buzz.  You know how that is... :)
