Oh, I turned it back on immediately after loading the GPG key from 
kde-redhat, but thanks for the reminder.

The key piece of datum that I doubt I would have gotten on my own was 
the fact that the website for kde-redhat is kde-redhat.sourceforge.net.  
I don't find that URL in any of my configuration files, the error 
messages or any of the the yum FAQs I googled.

Thanks again!
