Missing buttons in KMail

[John Aldrich]

Hello, all... I asked this earlier in the week on the KDE-PIM list, but met 
with deafening silence (well, I think there was one reply that basically said 
he'd had it happen too... no response on how to FIX it!)

Problem -- all of a sudden one day, my icons in the menu bar were gone. So 
were the text labels for them. It's not that the menu bar is missing, as I 
can "hide" the menu bar and there is a small change in the display. If I 
un-hide it, there's another small change, but I still don't get any icons 
across the top. Now, if I use one of the text menu options, I see buttons in 
the sub-menus, just not in the actual menu-bar itself.

The ONLY thing that has changed (hardware-wise... been a LOT of software 
updates) recently was that I switched to an LCD flat-panel from a 15" CRT 
monitor and shortly before that, I'd switched from a 20" CRT to the 15" CRT 
because of problems with my wife's PC (We're on a KVM switch.)

Any ideas? This is Fedora Core 3 KMail 1.7.1 with KDE 3.3.1-2.12. If you've 
had this problem and fixed it, please tell me what you did to fix it. I'm 
really not looking forward to reinstalling the whole O/S.

Thanks.
