[wplug] Refreshing?

[Weber, Larry A]

I had to uninstall Glade from my RedHat 8.0 system.  After the files were
removed I found that Gnome would not start up properly.  The error message
indicated that the desktop had hung up because it could not find the Glade
library files used to display time.  I know that during the removal of Glade
that files were removed from several directories.  I was able to find and
reinstall enough of the files to allow the desktop to start, but much of the
menu bar was lost.  

Is there a way to reinstall without repartitioning and loosing my user
directories and installed applications?   I tried "Upgrading" but that did
not reinstall the missing files.   I don't care about loosing user
preference settings (screensavers, colors, theme, fonts, etc).  I just don't
want to have to reinstall all the apps.
