Most of these problems come from the bizarre way that RedHat set up its menus 
and links to shared files needed by the KDE applications. KDE will work much 
better if you just compile it from source and dump the RedHat packages. In 
RedHat's attempts to build a "unified" desktop, thay have done a great job of 
mangling a system that already worked quite well.
