XMMS et al. was fine, though, so my first guess was that aRts doesn't play nice with SDL_mixer. This theory seems to fit with sguatz's issues with timidity++, since SDL_mixer depends on it. This happened on a pure GNOME box -- KDE is not and has never been installed on it. Therefore I suspect that arts-1.5.0-0.1.fc4 itself is broken, rather than the KDE 3.5 RPMs. I don't have a clue as how to fix it, though. :( HEW
