[root at fishy /]# rpm -qf /etc/issue ; rpm -q kdenetwork
whitebox-release-3.0-6_i386
kdenetwork-3.1.3-1.5

It's in there.  Like I said, it is installed.  The menu looks a bit 
different between FC1 and WB, but I'm expecting that, as I - without 
looking - suspect that FC1, where I saw the DTop sharing, was a newer 
copy than WBEL, which is RHEL, which is based on RH9.
