There appears to be a bug with the kappfinder utility in the new official RedHat KDE 1.1.1 release. Specifically, the kappfinder bash script appears to mangle the paths for kde_icondir, kde_appsdir, and kde_minidir. Running the routine produces the following output for me: [5] ~> kappfinder /usr/bin/kappfinder: ${install_root}$KDEDIR/share/apps/kappfinder: No such file or directory Installing to /home/ray/.kde find: apps: No such file or directory find: apps: No such file or directory By changing all references to ${install_root}$KDEDIR to /usr, everything seems to work OK.
fixed for the next release.
