3.2 under RH9 keeps falling over!

Is there any way of integrity-checking a KDE installation? I'm running 3.2.0-0.1 on a Toshiba laptop with Redhat 9. Since upgrading KDE, my machine has become unstable. Although 3.2 is beautiful, I would prefer to have my machine's former stability back and the less elegant and attractive desktop I had before!

Some examples of oddness:
1) can't run ksysguard anymore - returns error: 'connection to localhost has been lost!'
2) sometimes lots of disc activity without me having started any programmes.
3) regularly hanging when alt-tabbing between open programmes - again, lots of disc activity usually happening at this point, but no way of recovering, so I have to cut electricity, which I expect is not good for the hard-drive.
4) strange tendency to stick when I click menus - never seen this before: when I click on a menu nothing happens - I can move the highlight up or down between programmes with the cursor keys, and select with Enter, or go back one level with Esc, but can't select with the mouse.

I installed using --nodeps (following advice I read, I think, at linuxquestions.org), so I wonder if I missed something out.

Any help much appreciated...

If you want to check out if you have missed any dependencies try
rpm -V 'packagename' where 'packagename' could be some kde package name such as kdelibs. kdebase etc. If there are any depencdency errors it will show the as "Unsatisfied dependencies for ......"
