Okay, I experimented with both KDE and Gnome, and decided I'd rather use
Gnome. After making this decision, I wanted to remove KDE, because I
like to keep my hard drive as lean as possible.
I accomplished this, or so I thought, by running:
# yum groupremove "KDE (K Desktop Environment)".
It seemed to work. Removed a whole bunch 'o stuff.
Okay, but then I wanted to install k3B, the CD burning software, which
I'm led to believe is designed for KDE, but runs in Gnome. I did a YUM
install and got the following error:
[root@localhost ~]# yum install k3b

What is this conflict? I could understand if there were missing
dependancies. But since I removed KDE, how can there be a conflict?
