Yes, gnome is the default so less fedora users are using kde than gnome. Now - can't you see that kdesk is a different version than the rest of your kde packages? rpm -e kdesk kdesk-devel - then create a new user and log on as that user in kde and see if the new user has the same problems or if the problems are just relegated to your user profile in which case, something in $HOME/.kde or $HOME/.kde2 is causing your issues.
