This is indeed the problem. 
http://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/fedora/13/x86_64/testing/RPMS/ is 
missing kdelibs 4.4.4 and kdebase-runtime 4.4.4 ... the solution is to wait 
for rdieter to poke his head in here to push them ;)

So? The number of plugins enabled don't affect the content of the repos, or 
yum's depsolving ability (or in this case inability).

It didn't break threading or anything, why does it matter? That's just being 
pedantic.
