Which package should provide the panel?
It sounds like the functional package is installed, since you're getting
a desktop at all. The panel, the desktop, that's all part of plasma (the
binary is plasma-desktop, the packages would include plasma-runtime,
no such package
plasma-workspace,
no such package
plasma-apps,
no such package
libplasmagenericshell, libplasmaclock,
Both installed.
kdeplasma-addons,
Installing this would pull 77 runner, applet, wallpaper, dataengine groups,
plus 7 more libs, & marble-common. Plus plasma-desktoptheme-default, which I
installed, but didn't help.
etc, or possibly kdebase-runtime and kdebase-workspace,
if mandriva is packaging the unsplit upstream kde tarballs). However, it
sounds like you may be missing an icons package, or more likely, the KDE
SYstem COnfig CAche (sycoca) is screwed up and/or you have some vital
environmental settings badly messed up.
Does mandriva still use their own menu system as they used to, years
ago? If so, it could be related to that and nothing other distros would
even know about.
I think the massive differences were dispensed with several years ago.
I decided to evaluate another approach, 'urpmi task-kde4-minimal
--no-suggests', which wants to install the following 15 packages:
ark
dolphin
keditbookmarks
kfind
kmozillahelper
kwrite
libdolphinprivate4
libkbookmarkmodel_private4
libkerfuffle4
libkonq5
libpsync1
plasma-applet-folderview
plasma-desktoptheme-aya
plasma-wallpaper-timeoftheday
task-kde4-minimal
So I tried picking likely candidates for genuine deps, one by one, except
with both plasma-desktoptheme-default and plasma-desktoptheme-rosa already
installed, none except maybe folderview look like real deps. So I tried urpme
plasma-desktoptheme-rosa, and it wants to remove kdebase4-workspace,
plasma-desktoptheme-default, rosa-launcher & rosapanel. After seeing a lot of
rosas mentioned in thread subjects on the Mandriva mailing list lately, and
with 2011 still in RC, I suppose rosa may be the only available launcher, and
broken. I think I'll just give up on this until after 2011 gets past RC.
FWIW, this is what *kdm*, *kde* & *plasma* are installed:
