have you installed the i686 packages too?
try to remove them temporary

if you do the upgrade outside KDE/GNOME you can remove the GConf-packages
with "rpm -e --nodeps"before the upgrade, they will be pulled as dependency
in the upgrade-process

even if not - "package --cleanup --problems" and a review of grub-config
is mandatory before the reboot
