Thank you.  That seems to have fixed it.

kde-settings-kdm shows in yumex as being from sl/6.1 and does contain 
kdmrc.  I did yum reinstall kde-settings-kdm; there was no kdmrc.rpmnew.

Enabled and started sshd; logout and login gave kde desktop.  Reboot did 
too.  sshd is still enabled and running.  So, in general, back to 
normal... but with kde 4.10.2, Qt 4.8.4 and sl 6.4

TTBOMK smart never caused me any serious harm - although this thread 
might provide evidence to the contrary.  Certainly it finds it difficult 
to cope with the number of packages in f17 and sometimes has to be 
killed, or drip-fed.  But it tells me what I have installed, where the 
files are... and I'm used to it.   yumex looks fairly friendly and at 
present my main gripe is that repo selection seems volatile.   Group 
operations with yum are certainly effective.
