Oops, I wasn't paying too much attention initially, I don't tend to
bother trying to help with GUI stuff as I don't do much of it. :)

Well the redhat-menus provide defaults for both KDE and Gnome,
presumably as part of the unified Bluecurve look and feel?
This is from WBEL but should be applicable to CentOS too...

Summary : Configuration and data files for the desktop menus
Description :
This package contains the XML files that describe the menu layout for
GNOME and KDE, and the .desktop files that define the names and icons
of "subdirectories" in the menus.
/etc/X11/starthere
/etc/X11/starthere/applications.desktop
/etc/X11/starthere/preferences.desktop
/etc/X11/starthere/sysconfig.desktop
/etc/xdg
/etc/xdg/menus
/etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu
/etc/xdg/menus/preferences.menu
/etc/xdg/menus/server-settings.menu
/etc/xdg/menus/start-here.menu
/etc/xdg/menus/system-settings.menu
Are both /etc/X11/starthere/preferences.desktop and
/etc/xdg/menus/preferences.menu present? I wonder if one of those
packages has modified them and the reinstall is just creating .rpmnew
files rather than replacing the defaults you want?
Is there anything suspicious in your ~/Desktop/ (check for .dot files too).
