I was exploring SuSe 10.1 which had KDE
I ran the Search for files(Nautilus Search too)l which was located under
K-Menu->System->File manager

and from then on my desktop became half Gnome & half KDE & it looks bad...
See Pic:

How do I revert back to full KDE desktop..

Please Help!!

See the way the icons are...
& Konqueror is not being used to display folder contents when I click bharat's home on the desktop but uses it when I clik on the home icon next to K Menu

lol harsh, give another look at the screen, he's task bar is KDE but his his desktop is GNOME desktop. Icon for home folder is a dead give away of gnome.
I have faced this with xfce too. Just open the terminal and type
Code:
 ps auxw | grep metacity
You will get two entries something like this
Code:
mehul    [b]28954[/b]  0.0  1.2  15620  9472 pts/1    S    01:37   0:12 metacity
mehul    14266  0.0  0.1   2860   780 pts/0    S+   10:04   0:00 grep metacity
Now issue this command
Code:
kill -9 28954
Replace 28954 with whatever number you get which I have marked in bold in the output.

And, you Konqueror only under KDE, in fact I find it as the best file manager, it can do a lot more than what nautilius can do.

@Tech_your_future, Looks like this guy (@Bharat) is running KDM & GDM simultaneously!!
I have never seen a Linux desktop like this!!

Your KDE session manager has saved Nautilus process and is autostarting it when you login to KDE. Instead of looking for metacity, look for nautilus using the command "ps auxw | grep nautilus" (without quotes) and then kill it.

Alternatively, you can pass the command "killall nautilus" (without quotes) to stop the nautilus process.
