Howdy, I too have had a lot of problems with KDE on the past couple Redhat/Fedora releases. The best solution I have found so far is to replace the official RPMS with those from the KDE-Redhat project at http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net. Enclosed are the instructions I wrote for myself on how to do this. YMMV. Good Luck -Allen Install kde-redhat stuff. We'll use yum since it comes standard with FC2. To use the kde-redhat repositories with yum, add the lines shown at http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net to the bottom of /etc/yum.conf. removing $releasever in the stanza title. Logout of any graphical desktop then login as root to the console. (The first time this will take a long time -- a *long* time unless you have a broadband connection.) Then run the following commands: % rpm --import http://aleron.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/kde-redhat/gpg.rexdieter-kde-redhat.key % yum update % yum install kde themer qt arts kdelibs kdebase kdeadmin kdeartwork % yum install kdebindings kdeedu kdegames kdegraphics kdemultimedia % yum install kdenetwork kdepim kdesdk kdetoys kdeutils kdeaddons % yum install koffice quanta k3b guarddog scribus kickpim % yum upgrade
