I'm sorry, Tom, I should have been more clear.  When I did the rpm 
-e to remove those packages, it was all in one go.  That is 
something like

    rpm -e kdebase-2.2.2-1 kdeartwork-2.2.2-1 ...

When rpm reported that there was a package that needed something I 
was trying to remove, I added that dependent package to the list.  
This is something you may also have to do with other packages in 
the future.  Sometimes when you're installing a package you need to 
install other rpms that support that package.  Same thing when 
removing.

I'm glad you got it working and again, I apologize for the 
confusion.
