OK. I think I see the culprit. Fedora 10 has 
xsettings-kde-0.6-3.fc8.x86_64 (fc8!!!!!!!!). The current version of 
xsettings-kde is 0.9. According to the xsettings-kde Changelog, KDE4 
support was added around 0.8.

Is there any chance of getting a more recent version of xsettings-kde in 
Fedora 10? Should I submit a bug report?
