So you can get into the K desktop environment but some things aren't where they should be? Have you tried booting with another desktop? For example:

boot: desktop=icewm

i have tried it from the root, the taskbar on the bottom comes up now but still no desktop items...i'm going to try the other way u said tonight after work
