All,

  My system is back and running. I found I had several old kde rpms on
my system.  I ran "rpm -qa | grep kde | grep i686", then removed the old
KDE rpms. Still having problems, removed KDE, reinstalled KDE several
times was using yumex,  and the group KDE keep giving me an incorrect
install. I used "sudo yum groupinstall KDE" , then system installed
correctly.  

  Rebooted, still had a problem  KDE was really slow, unusable! Found a
post online about kde4.6 being slow, same problem I was having.  first
they said to kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental which I had done earlier this
morning.  So I did the second thing which was to run 
"rm -rf /var/tmp/kdecache-'usrname'".  After this I rebooted my system
and all appears to be working...  Thanks to those who replied with
suggestions.

Thanks,

Phillip Lynn
