[TriLUG] Strange UI Problem....

I'm hoping that someone on the list might know what the f**k is going
on with my desktop. I'm running RedHat 9 and I'm using KDE as my desktop.
I'm not sure when, but I started noticing that all my 'Cancel' and 'OK'
buttons on dialogs were reversed.

Normally the order should be from left to right, 'OK' then 'Cancel'. For
some strange reason they are showing up in the reverse order for all the
dialogs; Firebird, Thunderbird, KDE, etc. I figured that some setting
might have gotten hosed, so I searched and upon finding no valid option
in the KDE control panel I took some drastic action.

I went and blew away all the dot(.) directories that I thought might
be even remotely related to KDE. I also took the time to clean up a lot
of other directories that I knew were just left over from old software
that I had tried. I did this work from a virtual console session after
I logged out of KDE.

Now I have a brand new environment and the exact same problem. Does anyone
have any ideas how to fix this. It seems like such a small thing, but it
is really driving me nuts because it is backwards of any other system
I work on.
