Kevin I run across this all the time, it is frustrating, but I just use the command;
rpm -e --nodeps google-gadgets-qt google-gadgets google-desktop-linux
What the --nodeps is , it removes only those packages and no Dependencies.
Hopefully, someday, they will fix that problem in Yum
LOL
It is *not* a problem in yum. Yum is merely doing it's job. The dependencies are in the software itself in most cases and package maintainers control it to some extend. Kevin Kofler has already explained what has happened in this thread. Read it.

Easy there Rahul. I suspect that Jim read my question from a Digest that had maybe come out before Kevin's response (or just replied prior to getting that far in the Digest). No need to jump down his throat; honey vs. vinegar and all that.

No problem, I do feel his pain, I have experienced it many times. What I had suggested was a short term fix. I also have one of those irritating little problems that has been in KDE for many past releases.
When your in Konqueror as SU and try to edit with Kedit or Kwrite you get a "cant launch Kedit or Kwrite" You then have to restart KDE to get Kedit or Kwrite to launch.
