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.
